I am sure you know, Scott, that the antipsychotics combined with antidepressants can have some magic. Not by themselves, but in combination. Who knows why. It is probably some intricate mechanisms involved with the 5ht antagonism and to a lesser degree the DA antagonism.
So, if you have not already tried them, I thought I would mention the two that seem to do best (at a non-scientific scan) in pubmed studies. Zyprexa and Risperdal.
And I certainly would not rule out any of the conditions that cause depression. Where the brain is not the primary problem, but some unseen unsuspected assault on the brain is. I know you've had thorough testing, but those aren't the kind of tests I'm thinking of. Too unreliable and too vague. They miss a lot. They often pronounce someone normal when in fact they are quite ill.
But that's a different topic.
