Hi Denise.
I didn't know that persistent dysthymia was how you experience depression. It sounds like you suffer from double depression - chronic dysthymia punctuated by episodes of major depression. It is not surprising that you are having so much trouble finding treatments that bring you to total remission. Double depression and dysthymia are difficult to treat. It the UK, I believe you have sulpiride and amisulpride available. Low dosages of these drugs are supposed to be helpful for treating dysthymia. Maybe you could combine one of these drugs with pramipexole or ropinerole, understanding that you will probably need a traditional antidepressant to treat a major depressive episode should one develop. For you, I would advise reducing your stress level as much as you can and avoid systemic infections if possible.
Have you ever combined:
bupropion
venlafaxine or escitalopram
lamotrigine
lithium
thyroid hormone
