As I mentioned above, I have a VNS implant, have done ECT recently, and take Parnate 60mg/day, Cytomex 50mcg/day, Xanax 4.5mg/day, as well as Lunesta and Ambien. I've had some good days, but most of them are dismal.

> Lexapro
> Celexa

> Zoloft

> Tofranil
> Clomipramine
> Imipramine
> Symbyax
> Seroquel
> Lamictal
> Depakote

> Xanax
> Klonopin
> Atavan
> Valium
> Cytomex
> Nardil
> Ensam
> Parnate
> Trazadone
> Doxepin

Right now, I'm just confused and tired and hating life.

Wow that's a lot of meds. I'm a med amateur so I can't really offer a lot of perspectives, but I've read that putting testosterone into optimal ranges have been succesfull in treatment resistant depression in males.
