I'm only actually 13 days at a therapeutic (> 75mg) amitriptyline dosage, so I'll give it some time yet. But the pattern so far is up the dose and feel a lot better for a few days, then retreat backwards.

If I don't get a response in a few weeks with ami then I'm looking at augmentation options and was hoping for some advice.

Lithium - currently taking 600mg but should I go higher?

T3 thyroid

Buspirone or pindolol

Low dose wellbutrin

Low dose prozac

Trazodone?

Lamotrigine - I might be bipolar 2 so there is potential here, but I had no response to riluzole this time around.

It seems like Lamatrogine really helps a lot of people, particularly those with Bipolar 2 (and doesn't cause weight gain). I tried taking it and it did help my mood but I had the rare side effect of excessive hair loss, so I stopped. Wellbutrin can really help with energy and doesn't cause weight gain, either. Good luck!
