> "You're the man who's tried everything, and to be perfectly honest with you, I have no ideas as to how to treat you. You've been on everything. There's nothing more. That's psychiatry's dirty little secret: not everyone responds to treatment and some will will only achieve a very partial response if anything at all."
>Frankly, I am outraged by this. I agree that the doctor at least had the honesty to admit that he couldn't help BUT he certainly could have TRIED to refer you to someone else or to tell you that he would ask around for someone with experience in extremely resistant mood disorders. You cannot have tried everything. That is mathematically impossible, by the way. Combinations of different psychiatric drugs for a therapeutic amount of time could take up a lifetime. Anyways, you have not even tried off label drugs like Mirapex? Correct? Have you tried opiates? This is definitely something you should look into. I suggest you contact Dr. Ivan and tell him your story with this dr., I think he would try to refer you to someone in your area who is willing to at least TRY.
BY the way, did you ask about Mirapex? I cannot believe that he would be unwilling to even give you a script for it!
What is this doctor's name by the way? I think it is safe to say that no one here should go see him.
