Hi Adamie
I can relate to your condition as i've been through mind torture as well.
Recent research stated that major depression, agitated type could be linked to bipolar disorder. How was your pre-morbid condition like?
If you were kind of hyper or euphoric or "cycling" before getting depressed chances are you could have a mild form of bipolar desease. If that would be your case, there are plenty of mood stabilizers that are good for anxiety and depression such as Neurontin or Lamictal. You could ask your pdoc if you fulfill bipolar II criteria. But please get a throughout dx and consultation before starting a new medication.You might want to take a look at this site in the meanwhile:
