No med ever catapulted me out of depressing, it was always a long process. The best combo I've had though is lamictal and laudta. I take propranolol for anxiety and I think that helped me not get the akathesis that some get on it. I also take it before bed so I don't feel the side effects, I sleep though them. You might ask your doc about taking cogent end or propranolol at the be gaining of any AP so it's less likely to result in akathesis.
