I've been to a psychopharmacologist last week. I drove 250 miles and spent plenty of money just for being prescribred with the usual, lousy TCA (amytriptiline) plus an atypical antypsichotic that i'm swallowing every morning with no results at all. I have been really disappointed for something he told me.
This is what happened : i was sick and tired of pdocs not telling me anything clear on my condition. Every time i asked questions about my anhedonia and my apathy i never got a straight answer. All the pdocs i 've been to (except this one) have been so vague and obscure that they turned me off.
I 've been wondering if i was faulty not making clear questions, So i made a clear question this time. And the answer was quite dreadful. This guy told me i didn't have many chances to recover since i haven't been responding fully to the TCA in the past years (Tofranil).
I came out of his office crying and feeling lost. Right now i'm not turned off or angry, i'm desperate. Do ypu think he might be right? Is an uncomplete response a predictive factor?
Any comment will be appreciated.Thanks for listening
