Mirtazapine sounds interesting. Weight gain wouldn't be a problem, my BMI is 20 and I am male. Could also help me with insomnia & sleep disturbances. My appetite is somewhat low.
What about Moclobemide? It's like the only reversible MAOI. It's available where I live.
I've been also thinking about trying some atypicals like Tianeptine, Opipramol, Trazodone...

Thank you.
Yeahh indeed, psychiatric medications are somewhat a major letdown.
