> Kelly - I'm not sure if Serzone would be a good choice. Traditionally, the MAOIs or ECT are the only things that have touched atypical depression. I think some studies have tried Zyprexa or Risperdal as alone or as adjuncts. Sorry, don't know what the outcome was. - Cam W.
I tried to post this before, but it didn't go through for some reason....
ECT is not indicated for atypical depression. It works best in "typical" depressions (psychotic ones in particular).
Antipsychotics haven't been tested for atypical depression. Wellbutrin might be something to consider; Serzone is worth trying too. So is Effexor, although it's likelier than the others to have the same effect on you as the SSRIs.
You might consider the possibility of SAD or bipolar II, as well.
