Probably the best bets, if you haven't tried them already, to give rebirth to your med and have it last a long time would be:
Provigil
Nortriptyline
Desipramine
SavellaI could have listed others as well, except I felt they would have a high probability of early poopout or tolerance. Those include Wellbutrin, Ritalin, Adderall, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers.
Ok, flash forward, you've tried all the above four one at a time with your current med, and you've switched entirely to a different SSRI, but things are still not going well. Don't feed the merrigoround game any longer. Time to switch mechanisms completely. Time to say goodbye to the whole reuptake inhibition thing. The time and justification for Nardil or Parnate has arrived. Rather than artificially damming up a single or two neurotransmitters at the synapse site with a foreign molecule, let all of the neurotransmitters increase globally by preventing their destruction.
But honestly I think adding a bit of noradrenergic boost to your med stands a good chance of reviving things. That's why I listed the above four meds.
