I can relate to your frustration. I have tried 50 or more treatments in 23 years. A couple have been quite helpfull for a few months then quit being effective.
I looked into trying Amineptine a few years ago but it looked like it was extremely difficult to obtain. Once or twice a year someone on psychobabble will post that they are being treated with Amineptine. Usually they are from Brazil.
Currently I am trying Strattera for my depression. It has only been 12 days so I don't know if it will be effective in the long run. There is some encouraging signs as my body is adjusting to the increasing doses. It might be something for you to consider.
Next year Cymbalta should be available in the USA and if Strattera does'nt work for me I will likely give it a try. I have'nt found a doc yet who would consider an Opioid for my treatment. It's something I would also like to give a try.
Well I just want you to know that your not alone in your struggle. Let us know your progress.Hope the best for you!

I have increased the dose the past few days to 300-400mg. I also take Ritlin, Klonopin and Perphenazine.Went off Topamax but am gaining wieght, bad for eating disorder.

I found this site wich gave me a little more hope but this has been going on and getting worse for 30 years. Can anyone make any suggestions? My pdoc will go along with anything that even remotely makes sense.
