There are lots of people on this board in similar situations to you (including me), some of whom might be able to help you find some really useful answers.
I haven't been successful with therapy either, I don't think I understand how to do it. Also there are a lot of crummy therapists, or ones that don't suit everyone, so it takes a lot of time and money and luck getting one that will be helpful. That's my impression at least.I seem to have similar symptoms to you (trouble sleeping and treatment resistant depression). I got a little bit of relief for a few years taking a combo of Celexa and Lamictal. Have you ever augmented your AD with anything? This seems to be a popular option and there are a lot of things to choose from (mood stabilizers, other AD's, atypical anti-psychotics...)
have you tried any of the following?:
Prozac
Wellbutrin
Abilify
Amisulpride
Risperidone
Geodon
Seroquel
Zyprexa
Neurontin
Agomelatine
Savella
Parnate
Nardil
Marplan
Segeline
Nortriptyline
Clomipramine
Ritalin
DexadrineSome of these drugs can be used as monotherapy, and some have to be taken together. If there are some on there you haven't tried, i suggest searching the archives here. You may have more options than you thought!
