Thank you for your feedback!

I have tried venlafaxine and mirtazapine, separately and together, they do keep the suicidal thought away but are far from giving me any real relief.

I was on nardil with few occasional pauses since 2006. My major concerns were weight gain, disturbed sleep(nightmares, sleep-talking) and it also produced kind of a dopamine depletion by the evenings, which was easily cured by few beers though :) Nardil gave me me the best years of my adult life, if it only didn't have the side effects.

Lamictal, wellbutrin, atypical ap-s i have tried- they did not work.

I have not tried stimulants though, i don't know how much they could help long term since i believe they tend to deplete dopamine leaving me crashing be the end of a day?

During the many years of depression i have observed that my depression seems 90% biochemical, therapy didn't do the trick for me. Only thing that do lift the black cloud are meds, most of them unforunately only work for few days or for a week.

I'm really looking forward for the NMDA antagonists to hit the market! As i remember there are close to ten of them in clinical trials.
