Do you have psychotic symptoms or "just" depressive ones?
I take desipramine (a TCA, which I beleive is closely related to imipramine) as part of my meds coctail. I have depression that just won't go away, but no psychotic symptoms. I take Lexapro and Lithium as antidepressant ajuncts. I just started on the Li though so I don't know how it will turn out. I know that the TCA and Li combo have been well-researched b/c both have been around for a while. Lamictal also works for some people, but it didn't for me. I actually added the Desipramine to the Lex b/c the lex wasn't helpful enough for me. Have you ever been on a TCA-SSRI combo?
Best,
EE
