Yes, unfortunately I've tried stimulants as well, and also I didn't mention I tried dopamine agonists. I have treatment-resistant depression with SAD on top of that. I have SAD twice a year. My major symptoms in may/june episode are those like in severe depression:psychomotor slow down, crying, mild anxiety; it's hard to describe it, the pain is unberable.
Last year I had a family event and had people invited over on May 13. I got my depression and became dysfunctional. I begged my doctor for help. He prescribed Provigil in addition to Reboxetine I was taking at that time. Provigil worked 4 days, but saved my event.
I don't believe much in light boxes. I tried gro-light lamps for plants once. Maybe they don't have enough intensity, but they caused nervousness and crying. On the other hand, Sulpiride worked almost immediately, than it pooped out. Last year I tried for my anergy in the fall: Stelazine and Trilafon. Each worked for about 3 weeks than faded. There are no more options left.
Thank you everyone for support.Anna P.
