Well, there is a new Depakote _ER_ formulation designed to minimize side-effects;

Selegiline is gaining wider acceptance as an antidepressant outside of Parkinson's disease. 60 mg of Selegiline is supposed to be comparable to 30 mg of phenelzine.

Pramipexole has been studied and proven effective in depression. Some people on this group have had success with it: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10812530&dopt=Abstract

A new atypical neuroleptic called Geodon is on the market, which promises to augment antidepressants. Few people have tried it, but it seems tolerable.

Have you tried these: Nefazodone - great for sleep; no sexual dysfunction; no anticholinergics side-effects.

Lamotrigine - good side-effect profile; most antidepressant properties

Carbamazepine - less side effects than Lithium or divalproex sodium

Topiramate - the newest mood-stabilizer; it promotes weight loss

Desipramine - the least side-effects of all the Tricyclics; one of the SNRIs

High-dose Venlafaxine - at higher doses Venlafaxine affects more chemicals than SSRIs.

Buspirone - an effective antidepressant and anxiolytic at high doses.

"Power Combinations" - Remeron+Effexor; Wellbutrin+Remeron, RemeronProzac

Augmentation of anything you have tried before with Lithium, Pindolol, or Buspar (i took pindolol

Foreign medications to the US: the RIMA Moclobemide; Reboxetine; Amisulpride, etc

Atypical Neuroleptics/Antipsychotics with antidepressant properties: Risperidone, Olanzapine, Seroquel

Provigil - a stimulant that is possibly effective

Irreversable MAOIs - Phenelzine, Tranylcypromine. Extremely Effective.
