Long Term Depression Worsening

I find that lithium works for me to help augment the effects of IV ketamine. However i have bipolar so take that with a grain of salt.
Have you tried Auvelity? Personally it was a terrible drug for me, but it’s supposed to have “ketamine-like” mechanism of action, and I know it really helps some people. I thought I’d love it because I also take bupropion, but like most everything in psychiatry, you throw things at the beast and see what sticks.
Good luck to you and sorry you are suffering, I wish you the best.

Throw things at the beast and see what sticks. And they call it science.

Thanks @ashleyharris728. I did try Wellbutrin years ago with no memorable effects. Mixing it with dextromethorphan is interesting and I do love how some of the medications come about. Sounds like someone got a cold while taking Wellbutrin and felt substantially better while taking the cough medicine.
Lithium only messed up my kidneys and didn't help much probably because I was misdiagnosed as bipolar by that doctor.
I have to say I have been on Vyvanse for 3 hours now and the brain fog is better. I may owe my doctor an apology on that one. Will see how the day progresses.
I am really wondering about Genesight and if I get two meds that work based on that test, maybe the decades of "throwing things at the beast" and hoping for the best are over.
