I'm reposting this observation about naltrexone. Not sure if this information would be useful to you or not...
What is the source of the controvery mentioned with PDocs precribing this medication? I'm considering trying it if my doctor would agree to a trial. Has anyone tried this with Lamictal?
"This phenomena of the SSRI "poop out" can usually be reversed by adding 25 mg of naltrexone (marketed in the US as Revia), usually on top of supper to avoid transient nausea. In anywhere from two weeks to five of once daily dosing the SSRI regains the full effect and often is perceived as working better than it did at first. I have done this in over forty cases where this has been most gratifying. At this dose of naltrexone the incidence of side effects is very low, and the improvement is sustained over a period of years. It has been the end of poop out in my practice."
