Thank you...without getting relief life is not worth living anymore...When I started this battle in 1987 I was under the impression that my depression was treatable. I became aware of the resistent nature of my depression and began to live a life of utter hopelessness. No matter what I tried, remission was elusive.
The only other combination that did something for a few years was Celexa, Wellbutrin and adderall.
I also took Emsam with little effect.
I also have been on Lamictal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Risperdal and scads of AD's too numerous to mention.
If the Marplan didn't work, we were going to try Amino Acids, which for a psychiatrist is unheard of.
I also toyed with the idea of Transmagnetic Stimulation or Vagus Nerve Stim but as with ECT, I'm terrified by those treatments.
I just want "normal" depression that responds to medications like most people's do. I don't know why my life has been so difficult, it seems like I was chosen to suffer and not be given a fair chance at life. I always wondered why.
Maybe this is my time to shine.
