TRD cocktails:
Milnacipran solo.
Milnacipran + Risperdal duet.
Milnacipran + Zyprexa duet.
Prozac + Zyprexa + Ritalin + Lunesta quartet.
Parnate solo.
Any SSRI or SNRI + Abilify duet.Why did I list Milnacipran? Well, failing all SSRIs and SNRIS, and then failing a full 12 sessions of bilateral ECT, Milnacipran worked! I can't tell you why or how based on what is said about it on paper. Whatever we know about it is very incomplete. The drug has great potential when dosed high enough for long enough, and shows clear improvement as early as week 1 with many people.
The prozac+zyprexa thing is well researched for TRD. Add Ritalin to that and you got one powerhouse anti-depression cocktail. Prozac+Zyprexa+Adrafinil actually had me as close to well as I could get on an SSRI, pretty good, for several years until I started smoking pot and ruined it all.
