Hi.
I don't think we really know what causes depression yet. Did you know that cocaine was a potent serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor in addition to its effects on dopamine? How do you know which neurotransmitter(s) to blame the withdrawal depression on?
If you are right in your assessment, perhaps using an MAO inhibitor like Parnate, Nardil, Marplan, or Emsam would be helpful. These drugs help to increase the amounts of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin in the neuron terminals.
