As time goes on, scientists discover more and more properties of the drugs we use to treat depression. Minocycline sure does a lot of different things. I doubt that it will be a wonder drug, but I am sure that a certain percentage of people will respond to it.
> maybe if...when the pristiq starts to die out again i could use Minocycline in my regimane? is it synergistic with SNRI's?
I can't say for sure. I have an article that indicates minocycline would work well with noradrenergic drugs. One of the tests they used found it to be synergistic with desipramine, but not Prozac. Other tests do not make this distinction. Preclinical tests show that minocycline monotherapy produces antidepressant effects in mice. My guess is that minocycline would work well with higher doses of SNRIs.
Have you ever combined Pristiq with Wellbutrin? They often go well together. Wellbutrin can also be effective for ADD.
Have you tried Lamictal?

> Melatonin 10mg night (just started it up again last week)Some people get depressed when they take melatonin. I imagine this is relatively infrequent, though.
By the way, how high have you gone with Effexor?
