Describe your depression to me. Negative thoughts, no joy? What?

Something's not right with your picture, you know that. You're on a lot of drugs that provide antidepressant benefit, yet you're still stuck? These drugs aren't working for you, period.

You're stuck with the complexity of bipolar depression, correct? I'm assuming you're bipolar because you take Lamictal and Lithium.

Bipolar depression is a different beast. Living with it I have discovered it does not respond to antidepressant therapy the same way regular depression does. There are drugs, though that have proven efficacious for bipolar depression: Zonegran, Riluzole, Ketamine, Opiates, Mirapex, etc.

The combination you are on is not working for you. Stop going back to medications that may have worked in the past. Try to look at your situation with a different perspective. You don't need all these ADs.
