You have to go overseas to find my favorite...25mg-50mg amisulpride. But other than that, 20mg prozac + 5mg zyprexa combination was the best in terms of lasting the longest (5 years before poopout) and having no side effects.
Have tried most other ssri's and a couple tricyclics, as well as some other stuff like pindolol, buspar, naltrexone, lithium, lamictal, adrafinil, modafinil...all had either yucky side effects, didn't work, or pooped out quickly.
Oh yeah, forgot about ritalin and adderal. Those are great. It's just that the good effects fade real fast for me and I get up to a high dose real fast...tolerance sets in way too fast for me. If I were a doctor though, I would prescribe a stimulant right along with an ssri at the very beginning, to lift the patient up from hell fast, and then slowly withdraw the stimulant after the ssri starts working.
