Top choices that popped into my head right away:
Klonopin
Amisulpride
Risperdal
Zyprexa
Tegretol
Depakote
Nortriptyline
Effexor
I also thought of some secondary choices if the above drugs failed to help to you. But that's another bridge to cross another day. I think the above drugs, for various reasons, are top choices to sample.If your doctor is open, then ask for a two week sample of each. Many will turn out to be duds. They'll do nothing, give you untolerable side effects, or even make you worse. But you will discover in a short time that you really like one or two of them. You can then choose your favorites for longer trials, and put the duds on a backburner to be reconsidered for longer trials later if all else fails.
Keep in mind that with this strategy you aren't looking for a cure in a mere short two weeks. You are instead looking for superior drugs for you and weeding out inferior ones. Trial and error is the only way to do that. Superior drugs will usually make themselves obvious in less than two weeks. You probably won't be cured in two weeks, but you will probably be pleased that you feel surprisingly better. That's the superior drug you're looking for. Just have to begin an organized probing strategy to discover the superior drug.
