Light therapy has definitely helped me. I had SAD cycles as far back as middle school, but didn't know what was going on until halfway through college. Thankfully a therapist noticed the pattern and suggested a light box. I use it year round now, and turn it on as soon as my alarm goes off in the morning.

I'd also highly suggest policing your blue light exposure in the evening. That's the other side of the coin that people often ignore. We're exposed to so much artificial blue light from screens. The blue light tricks our brain into thinking it's daylight and screws up our production of melatonin and thus our sleep cycle. Your sleep cycle absolutely affects your physical and mental health. I use glasses like this at night when I'm watching TV or using my phone. I feel like limiting my light exposure has helped as much or more than the light box. The two approaches certainly support each other.

I liked Paxil (paroxetine). It is the most potent SSRI. I think I even took it with bupropion for a while. Why did I stop Paxil? I developed flat affect.

Alas, I've never found an SSRI, TCA, atypical, or MAOI that has much effect on dopamine.

Let me direct you at this point over to r/Anhedonia_Recovery to read my comment on this post - Pramipexole (Mirapex) For Anhedonia And Treatment-Resistant Depression: Guidelines, Studies, And Success Stories..

The drugs that have effects on dopamine agonism are pramipexole (Mirapex) and ropinirole (Requip). Of the two, pramipexole looks more promising for depression (and anhedonia). Pramipexole is primarily a D3 agonist, with some D2 and D4 agonism. Pramipexole is primarily a Parkinson's drug; ropinirole is for restless leg syndrome.

Anyhow, I think you may be overthinking things a bit, like the other commenter suggested. It may be that "Drug X" looks great on paper, but if you take it and it makes you nauseous, you won't like it. The clinical experience of your psychiatrist is also important for figuring out the right treatment for you.

Otherwise, get a copy of Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology: Neuroscientific Basis and Practical Applications 4th Edition by Stephen M. Stahl. I think you'll like it. You can reference some of it online at Stahl Online.

Yep…

I use this particular combination of Jarrow supplements (some others not listed as well):

Most religions have developed to explain why we live and to deal with the problem that we are eventually going to die. I just finished a fascinating book called "Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief." Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief
https://www.amazon.com/dp/034544034X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_3aXqDbYSYK8J3

It explains the functions of the brain in layman's terms and shows that we have an evolved physical process for experiencing the "mystical" world. Basically, our brains have the ability to get a taste of dimensions beyond what we know as space and time. Most who have experienced this believe that it points to a higher being/unity/God/realm.

Personally, having a belief in something greater than myself has driven me to care more about my life on Earth. We may never understand why we live while we're living, but I have hope that after death I will.

Selegiline is probably the most "nootropic" of the antidepressants currently being prescribed in the U.S. Transdermal is expensive because the generic is not available yet, but is more potent than oral and doesn't necessitate dietary restrictions even at the highest dose. You'd have to do a full washout/withdrawal from the SNRI, though.

I'm unconvinced by your fish oil choices. If you're drinking a bottle of that Souvenaid stuff per day, you're getting 2280 DHA / 1020 EPA in total, not 1080/720. An unopposed -1 g of EPA appears to slightly worsen depression, while the most consistent positive results are clustered around 1 g unopposed EPA.

Not to shill, but this is the one I use - labdoor, amazon at 2 capsules/d, so 1 g unopposed EPA, but you'd need to take 3 or 4 if you wanted to keep the Souvenaid - which is no more expensive than the 3x Blackmores, anyway. I do eat a fair bit of fish which generally have more DHA than EPA so I'm not sure what my true unopposed EPA is.

Didn't help me, I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009MFUWC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1 and found it to be ineffective.

Sunlight works however, honestly even being outside on a cloudy day works. I was very disappointed after having high hopes with that lamp. Then again everyone is different and YMMV

Prolab Caffeine Tablets, 100-Count https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0011865IQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Always with food, never extra doses. And of course check with your doctor if you’re instructed to limit caffeine intake

If you get PS, get it conjugated to DHA, DHA increases its uptake into neurons. The DHA also becomes more bioavailable itself. https://www.amazon.com/Country-Life-Sharp-Thought-Supports/dp/B000MES34O. Also for ALCAR there is a new option- ALCAR Arginate that is four times more potent at increasing NGF per weight.
