hey - i would appreciate that so much, but feel guilty at the same time! i mean my parents can technically afford to help me, but i think they have already contributed a lot, and are just running out of patience (which i understand, since there seems to be a generational difference in how depression is comprehended).

i still think B12 is an issue; i started experiencing neurological symptoms, which have cleared a bit since starting methyl-b12. my doctor said my serum b12 and homocysteine levels were fine, but according to an expert on a site i use, the readings were in fact approaching danger level.

if you can honestly afford to spare a bottle, and think it may be of some benefit, then i would hugely appreciate you sending it.

i think i will go through with the psych visit, just be completely honest about my whole history (often i go in with some preconceived idea about treatment which often creates hostility), but i just don't know where that will get me. i hate the SSRI's, SNRI's, TCA's i've tried. Nardil was a trip, but left me feeling airheaded. all signs point to Parnate i guess, unless i could get a way with a low dose of a mood stabilizer. i keep thinking about the quote Hemingway made before he killed himself regarding electroshock treatment and about how the cure was worse than the disease. obviously i don't wanna conflate my talent with his, but the creative question complicates things so much. i feel like i'm way worse off for ever beginning psychotropic treatment, hence the title of this thread
