> do you really think a tranquilizer is the way to go? what about...I dunno...mirapex, focalin, an amphetamine, provigil...even xanax (I'd assume xr) can be helpful in some forms of depression. I mean...I wouldn't wish xanax dependence on anyone, but if you don't have all that many other options left...maybe (?).

Latuda was approved to treat bipolar depression. My doctor feels that it works for some people as an antidepressant. A friend of mine who I met at the National Institutes of Health in 1992 has been suffering with chronic treatment resistant depression for all of these years. She began taking Latuda two weeks ago. She now has more energy in her voice and clarity of thought. Her speech is more rapid. I have never seen her feel so well. Her depression likely fits somewhere along the bipolar spectrum. As a young adult, she experienced some mania.
I am still suffering the negative after-effects of Trintellix treatment, despite having discontinued it over two weeks ago. Overall, these cognitive and memory blunting effects seem to be dissipating gradually, but their intensity varies throughout the day.
