tolerable - venlafaxine (Effexor) perhaps - and add a full therapeutic dose of nortriptyline. It would be interesting to add lithium to this if necessary. Once you have established this core treatment, then you can try adding other augmenters like low-dose ziprasodone (Geodon).
--------------------Thanks for the advice, I will think about it.
My current combination is:
1) quetiapine (Seroquel) 600 mg
2) liothyronine sodium (L-isomer of triiodothyronine (T3); Cytomel, Liothyronin)
20 µg (microgram)
3) escitalopram (Cipralex/Lexapro) 40 mg
4) tianeptine (Stablon) 150 mg
5) clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril) 1 mg
6) trimipramine (Surmontil) 100 mg
7) pramipexole (Sifrol/Mirapex) 0.264 mg
(0.088 mg X 3)
I started with the pramipexole Monday. What could be the first thing to do?doxogenic
