I have yet to try Clomipramine, Amitriptyline, Nor, Des, any of the TCA's actually.
The thing is, Nardil and Zoloft (1st time worked, 2nd time it didn't) are the ONLY drugs that have ever worked for me. Out of all the SSRI's and MAOI's.
Clomipramine is very interesting but I'm not sure I can take going back into severe depression again..I literally sit around all day thinking about depression and wanting to die and staying inside seeing no friends.
On Nardil my severe depression is now mild moderate (from a 10 to a 5 or 6). Anxiety is very similar too. I go out every weekend and am content enough to hang with all my friends/party but not go to school or work yet (stress worsens the depression).
I'd prefer augmenting the Nardil. If this was you, wouldn't you do the same? And also, what do you suggest I add. Stimulant/TCA/NRI/NDRI?
And if Nardil and Zoloft have worked, do you think maybe dopamine is a big factor for me?
BTW, great link reference, been looking for something like that. Bookmarked!
