I used to take 2 and a mood stabiliser it helped for quite a while but the mood stabiliser no longer helps so I'm now on one with a small dose of quetiapine at night to reduce agitation and anxiety. The quetiapine makes the most difference to my quality of life.

Yes, my current "cocktail" is Lamotrigine, Mirtazapine, Trintellix, Zopiclone (for sleep - ha ha), and to kick start my mornings, Dexedrine Spansule. It has taken a little over 2 years this time to come up with something that has any effect - I am by no means better, but I know I am better than I was.

Wlebutrin, Buspar, nortryptylene. For a while with Abilify. And I have tried a whole bunch of others. Like 15 or more. Ridiculous.
The good news is that after 6 years of crushing depression despite all the drugs and lots of therapy, I am now feels no better and titration off my meds. |

Yes, there has not been a time within the last four-plus years that I haven't been taking more than one. For the last 9 months it's been
Lamotrigine (Lamictal) 200mg /day Nefazodone (Serzone) 600mg /day Buproprion (Wellbutrin) 450mg /day Two weeks ago pdoc prescribed a new one called Vraylar (caraprazine) .75mg /day. Technically it is off label - it is nominally for bipolar and schizophrenia - but so far it seems to be having a positive effect for me beyond placebo. (I'm your basic treatment-resistant depression and/or dysthymia, depending who's doing the diagnosis, so we'll see how it holds up.) Other than that, the Wellbutrin (buproprion) has some beneficial effect, though it waxes and wanes. The other meds, no effect I can tell, but for now I have no reason to reject them, as they have very little side effects, so for the moment I defer to pdoc's judgment as to efficacy. |

I am on three at the moment. Have tried so many combinations and nothing really works. Right now I'm taking Wellbutrin, Ritalin, and one that I can't recall at the moment but starts with a L.

I take Cymbalta for fibromyalgia/depression, Ambien for sleep. Believe me, I've taken everything out there to conquer this awful depression and I have gained weight and had so many side effects, such as no sleep. I have tried anything out there since 3 years ago. Any thing working for you? Did you have problems with lack of sleep, weight gain and hard to get up the next morning from Ambien. I've gone 5 or more days without and no sleep. So frustrating.

Over the course of 9 years I've been on 29 different meds and combinations of meds. Currently, I'm taking .625 mg of Rexulti (if I take less it seems less effective than it already does and if I take more it seems to make me hypomanic), 350 mg Topamax (for mood and migraines), .5 mg Klonopin twice a day, and 10 mg melatonin. Nothing seems all that effective, I don't really want to add anything since I take a lot of other meds for other health issues.

Yes, I am on Prozac and Wellbutrin. I too suffered with medication resistant depression and the one thing that helped was I had ECT treatments and then the antidepressants helped.

I'm on Effexor XR 150mg and mirtazapine 30mg.
The Effexor is the only medication that's ever helped but it only helps for maybe 6 months and it stops having an effect whatsoever. No other SSRIs or SNRIs help at all. The mirtazapine does essentially nothing, but it at least limits my insomnia to two-three nights a week instead of all week. I'm also on some anxiety meds for when things get too bad, but they don't even make me groggy or limit my depression induced anxiety, so welp to those. |
