>Very good on your comments and suggestions - but Cyproheptadine is a serotonin agonist or anti-serotonin - a pretty strong one at that. They gave that to me IV when I had a severe serotonin syndrome (body wouldn't stop violently shaking, sweating - almost had kidney failure because I combined dextromethorphan with Nardil). Wouldn't that hinder actions of the other meds you suggest?
Major Depressive Disorder, treatment-resistant w/GAD. Meds: Lexapro 10mg, Adderall IR 20mg 3x daily, Klonopin 1mg 5x daily, Seroquel 300mg, Ambien 10mg, Synthroid 125mcg, Androgel
