I've tried the combination of Aropax (SSRI - I think it is Paxil in the US) and Nortriptilene (tricyclic); this had absolutely no effect. Maclobemide brought about nothing but a skin rash. Nardil gave me a dreadful headache so I had to stop it at about three weeks - too early to gauge a response. I've never been prescribed Lithium. I'd not heard of Lamictal, Trileptal or Depakote before, but a search shows me that lamictal and Trileptal should at least be available here. Are they used as mood stabilisers?
