That's one heck of a list.Are there any on the list that you got a tiny bit of response from?
I wonder if it is something besides brain chemistry? Is your thyroid borderline between high normal and hyperthyroid? If not, that's where you want it. Some doctors just ignore the tests and prescribe natural T3+T4 enhancement to see what happens. Or you can mailorder it yourself. Tests are not always helpful or accurate and their results can be debated. Genetics vary so much.
Ever tried just a plain ole tyrosine supplement to see what happens? I don't think it makes a good longterm treatment, but I think it is an excellent way of pinpointing if you want to focus on dopamine or not. You'll know in just a couple hours if yes or no.
Maybe it's not a primary neurotransmitter but instead a secondary messenger. You could try high dose insositol 10g - 12g for a few days and see what it feels like. If nothing, forget it.
And phosphatidyl serene.
Pyroluria? Do you have any little white spots on your fingernails? Do a search on pyroluria to see the symtoms. Do they fit you? If yes, all it takes is megadose vitamin B6 and zinc.
Ever had mercury and lead levels checked?
Were your omega-3 oils high when you tried all those meds? Do you eat fish 3 to 6 times a week? Do you, or did you, take fish oil?
Ever tried high dose SAMe? If you are undermethylated, nothing is going to work very well until that is addressed.
I wonder what else it could be? If none of those drugs helped you even a little bit, that is a clue that it is not brain chemistry. Or if it is, then it is by a mechanism you haven't tried yet, such as neurotransmitter releasers instead of reuptake inhibitors. Such as adderall and cousins. And dopamine helpers like requip or pramipexole. And of course lithium and depakote should not be ignored.
Anyway, I sure feel for you. Not to mention the money and time spent, that was a ton of suffering in terms of start-up side effects and withdrawals.
If these ideas are junk, please just ignore.
Sorry, it seems I just accidentally may have introduced new things to make your list even longer. But hopefully, success in knowing what's going on.
