Alternatives for anhedonic depression and anxiety?

Posted by Axmann on February 23, 2016, at 1:37:55

Hello,
After a trial of Parnate, which improved my mood significantly but caused intolerable insomnia which I couldn't stick through, I am feeling incredibly demotivated by the current state of psychiatry.
I have had life-long dysthymia, depression, and ADD-PI. SSRIs/SNRIs help a lot with my appetite and sleep, but obliterate my motivation, passion, drive, and libido, and make my ADD meds much less effective. In addition, I have a short/long version of the SLC6A4 (SERT) gene, but I am not sure how this should influence my treatment.
I need a novel treatment strategy that both improves my mood and helps with anxiety but doesn't make me stupid and numb.
I have some alternatives in mind:
-Tianeptine
-Ropinirole
-Curcimin
-Rhodiola rosea
-L-Tryptophan
But I need some additional advice. I am really at wit's end here and I need relief.
