> I have tried almost all available meds, spent years in CBT and also tried ECT for my dysthymia over last nine years. Based on my experience i agree with the findings in a way that neither of these treatment works or is any better than placebo.Dysthymia is a bitch to treat, and is not considered to be MDD. You should probably be excluded from a MDD study based upon that. It is not surprising that your dysthymia has not been adequately treated by MDD therapies.
I sincerely hope that you find something that puts a dent in your mood illness. Do stimulants help at all? What about a drug like Mirapex? Amisulpride is worth a try. Google amisulpride and dysthymia.
Good luck.
