> Hi Guys, I had to have hip replacement surgery and have been off Nardil for about a month. Oxycodone has kept the depression in check, but just wondering if anyone has had luck lately with any new medications for treatment resistant, atypical depression with social anxiety. I'm still taking 2 mg of clonazepam daily, but am washed out on the MAOI and thought it might be a good chance to take another go at getting off Nardil. I've tried this so many times now, it makes my head spin. 45+ different combinations of medications of all classes, except the stimulants. Every time I end up going back on the Nardil when the major depression returns, usually within about 3 months. Gives me a small window to play with. Every time I try this, and go back to Nardil, I say I'm going to be a lifer. But I keep trying.

Have you tried clomipramine? It's up there with the best.
