I would not make tricyclic antidepressants my first choice. They are supposed to be very liable to produce a mood switch into mania. I think that discontinuing the Pristiq is a good idea for now. You might want to try using Geodon in its place. Geodon has antidepressant properties, even though it is an antipsychotic. Trileptal, which acts as a mood-stabilizer, will help reduce the manic side of a mixed state and reduce cycling.
Have you tried Wellbutrin?
Can you describe your major symptoms?
