Phyl... I have gone around and around trying to find a med that would stick. Augmenting an SSRI with Naltrexone was miraculous for me! Here are some places you can find some additional information. You can also check out my various postings beginning in February.

In corresponding with Dr Dante I discovered that he had obtained a patent with the intent of establishing some credibility for the augmentation. He has been trying to initiate some interest in controlled studies that might lead to approval of Naltrexone as an augmentation. If you review the patent be sure to view all of the claims.
US Patent 5512593: Composition and method of treating depression using natoxone or naltrexone in combination with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
