There is a thread below about genetic testing. Might something like that be helpful?
One of the pdocs I consulted with recently does blood tests to determine relative levels of neurotransmitters. I always thought that this couldn't be done, but apparently Mayo Clinic recently developed this technology (I think he said It uses the blood plasma.). He used it to see which one was out of whack. Have you had this done? Frankly, my result was different than I would have guessed based on my med responses, so I don't know what to make of this technology.
Also, some people I know swear by the integrative medicine docs. The look at diet and vitamin deficiencies and stuff and talk about how these contribute to one's mental (and physical) problems. I've never experienced one of these docs first hand (and admittedly I'm skeptical) but you need to think outside the box, so maybe it is worth it.
Best,
EE
