hi. have ever tried a stimulant? ritalin or focalin are still used in depression. amphetamines are, too, but...id try the ritalin or focalin 1st, if those are options. there's also provigil, nuvigil...but those tend to be very expensive, so insurance coverage could be an issue.

now and then, other stimulants are used in psych indications. tenuate...chemically, its like super wellbutrin. its licensed as a diet pill.

mirapex...im considering asking my shrink about this for depression or 'negative symptoms' (my diagnosis varies from 'expert' to 'expert' so...there you go...). some people report good results.

the other stuff...high dose effexor, possibly with buspar (buspirone can help boost antidepressants...), "alternative" stuff as an...well...alternative (not intentional, lol), or to improve results from standard treatments...

wellbutrin goes well with ssri drugs, for some people. lexapro+wellbutrin, for instance. if you go that route, id suggest a more calming/mellowing ssri (probably not prozac, unless you really like prozac) and then the wellbutrin. i just suggested maybe a stimulant because they work fast and drug-drug interactions w/ wellbutrin can get tricksy, and...nobody wants seizures, right?

ok. hope this helps. sorry you're going thru it.
