I am a 30 year old guy in Greensboro, NC with treatment resistant depression. I have been on the following meds. Remeron up to 45 mg, Zoloft up to 200 mg, Effexor XR up to 375 mg and Wellbutrin SR up to 400 mg. I have also tried lithium augmentation with 300 mg Effexor XR...the lithium made me worse actually. I also recently completed a clinical trial of the new rTMS magnet therapy...two weeks of it. It did not help much. I need a GOOD psychopharmacologist in North Carolina. If you know of a good psychopharmacologist in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area, Greensboro, Charlotte...or ANYWHERE in NC, please let me know. Feel free to E-mail me directly. I hate to say this but I would really prefer male doctors as I have sort of a gruff personality a little and have been advised by former psychiatrists to use only male doctors for this reason.
I also want a doctor who is good with the older meds like the Tricyclics and the MAOIs as I intend to try these soon.Also, if you know of a good neuropsychiatrist in NC please let me know. But not one whose main specialty is working with children. I have been advised I might wanna see a neuropsychiatrist but have had a ton of trouble finding one in NC. I know a lot of them specialize in working with children, which is not what I need.
Thank you
