>I would give anything to have either Wellbutrin or lithium work again, but neither does.
I don't think you should rule out the possibility that they might work again in future. If nortriptyline doesn't work out, you could consider another trial of lithium.
>Lunesta seems to be an exception to this rule, and I'm not sure why that would be. Also, PRNs like ativan work and I don't take them daily, so I don't know how to explain that either.
It makes sense. Even if some drugs don't work for you the second time around, this won't apply to all drugs. Benzos and night sedatives often work best if they're used for short courses or PRN. Continuous daily use can lead to tolerance and loss of efficacy. A med-free period can allow the drug to be effective again.
>So I've been burned enough that I'll stick with my theory.
I understand, but you need to be careful about staying on meds which might actually be making you worse, such as perphenazine. Could it be the perphenazine rather than nortriptyline which is causing you to cry more often?
