Thanks for the good suggestions. I have tried thyroid hormones, but not testosterone.
I still react badly to Effexor, even at a dosage of 37.5 mg/day. I have decided to discontinue it. I feel better today for having done so. Something has changed. I don't seem to be able to take serotonin reuptake inhibitors anymore. Scary. I am going to ask my doctor to go on Nardil. Parnate does not help me with anhedonia or my ability to perform tasks that take more than a few minutes. I have been on Nardil before. It has helped me in the past, but I don't remember exactly why I didn't continue with it. Side effects with Nardil are worse than those of Parnate for me. I experience urinary retention, profuse sweating, anorgasmia, and dizziness.
I hate going back on a MAOI.
Currently:
Nortriptyline 100 mg/day
Lamictal 300 mg/day
Lithium 300 mg/day
Prazosin 30 mg/day
