>I think I might have been told before that I have cyclothymia

Then the medication strategy would be different-basically a mood stabilizer along with an antidepressant.

>I have tried mood stabilizers in the past, Lamicta and Lithium, but they had no effect on my mood whatsoever.

If you didn't notice them having an effect on you, they may have been working perfectly.

Anyway, adding Lithium to an antidepressant recognized as an excellent augmentation strategy.

>I was afraid a washout is required.

Actually, a washout is not always recommended between two MAOIs.

>you could explain the need for a washout to me

Washout gaurantees that a medication change, especially between two antidepressants does not cause seratonin syndrome, a hypertensive crisis or enzymatic deactivation.

I wish you were feeling better! How long have you been on the Nardil now?

>do I worry a lot? Hell YES

Ruminating is one of the hardest things to treat.
