> In what ways did the baclofen improve your condition? What do you need to accomplish with treatment?I have Bad Depression and Anxiety specifically Social, I have tried a Plethora of drugs for this but with the Baclofen Instead of lying in bed wanting to sleep 24/7 at the right dose I was having great ideas of things to improve my life and acting on them, while chatting to hot chicks on the bus etc, no side effects its been around for 50 years, rxlist.com says they don't know much about it, but yeah it worked well for me, just got a really bad tolerance really quickly.
But I would recommend everyone give it a try> > Maybe I will look into Memantine and add low dose lithium to the phenelzine.

> Those are both reasonable choices. Lithium 300 mg helps stabilize my depression so that it is not as variable during a single day or throughout the week. It has helped me in combination with both Nardil and Parnate. I found memantine 20 mg to be somewhat helpful in combination with Parnate. I would go back to it if necessary, but I would probably look at LDN (low-dose naltrexone) first. I cannot recommend LDN yet because I have no personal experience with it and have not witnessed it work for anyone else. Morgan Miller is currently working with it.

> I am currently working with prazosin, which is cheap and very safe. It is producing a significant improvement in my bipolar depression. I don't know how far it will take me yet. I am not yet 50% improved, but am gradually headed in that direction. The more chronic and severe the depression, the longer it takes to reach remission. Also, the path of improvement is not necessarily linear. There may be peaks and valleys. I experienced a lull that lasted an entire week. It really had me fooled into thinking that I had reached a plateau and was losing the response. I am better now. I have completed only 4 weeks of treatment so far.
