The one that is finally actually doing something for me (after all the SSRIs, all the HORRIBLE tricyclics, and even some anti-psychotics failed) is Effexor XR, an SNRI (Serotonin and Norepinephrin Re-uptake Inhibitor). It does have some pretty powerful side effects, so you might want to check out the Effexor discussion thread on Psycho-Babble. I was first given it this spring while I was in a lock-up psych ward after a suicide attempt -- the lowest I've ever been -- and it's really worked wonders. Atticus
