How to defeat Atypical Depression?

Posted by Petrucci914 on January 27, 2009, at 17:04:34

Hello everyone,

I'm new here. I've been suffering from Atypical Depression for about 4-5 years with these prominent symptoms:

1. Oversleeping
2. Lethargy/Lack of energy
3. Overeating
4. Generalized Anxiety


I've been on the following medications:

Zoloft, Effexor, Lexapro, Cymbalta, EMSAM, Abilify, Wellbutrin, Provigil, Strattera, Lamictal, Provigil, Pristiq

Nothing has really helped me. Wellbutrin worked great for about 4 months and then pooped out. Lamictal helped a lot for about one week and then just let to brain fog. Provigil either helped me a lot, did nothing, or made me extremely suicidal (which I'm normally not).

I know MAOIs are recommended in my situation but some people tell me not to go that route. I'm also into the Craft Beer scene and if I go on an MAOI I can basically throw that social aspect of my life goodbye. I wanted to try a stimulant (Adderall XR/Vyvanse or Ritalin ER/Concerta) but my doctor doesn't want to prescribe stimulants.

Any recommendations?

I also take B-Vitamins, Omega-3s
