> I have tried all the MAOI's, Parnate worked well for a while but the insomnia was unbearable. Thanks for your imput, i think will give stimulants a try...my worry is that they won't be a long term solution.

Speaking of effects, not all stimulants are the same. Ritalin and dexedrine made my depression worse, especially once it wore off. My saviour was Adderall XR. So if one doesn't work for you, there are more to try. :)
Let us know how it goes.
