Good Luck fb, I sure empathize with your pain. It can be so hard when we are sick and have to do the research ourselves to even get a doctor to look at a possible solution. Especially with you, with the added pressure of raising a child through this.
I'm with zonked on this one. Somehow you have to see an expert psychopharmocologist. Once you have a treatment that works, then any MD can write the script. Getting opiods for depression is so hard, if not impossible. I almost considered doing some hard drugs once, just to get on the buphrenorphine. No, I don't recommend this! But the narcotics have always reduced my depression short term. Read some of Elizabeth's old posts on buphrenorphine. She hasn't been around for a long time, but that woman knew more about treatment resistant depression than any PDOC I've ever talked to. I think she must of had a photographic memory or something. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENCA278&q=Elizabeth+buprenorphine+OR+opiod+site%3Awww.dr-bob.org&btnG=Google+Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= (Hope the link works)
Hang in there fb. There are a lot of people that care about you!
Be well,
