What about augmentation using pindolol, Serzone, Wellbutrin, or even low-dose lithium? You gotta be careful, though, when combining serotonergic drugs. Serotonin syndrome can occur. Although I'm sure that this is not a common occurrence (except with MAOIs), I have seen reports involving SSRIs combined with lithium and I believe Serzone as well.
I wonder if anyone has tried adding Remeron to an SSRI?
