Question #2 was brought about by something a different pdoc at the same school said. I'm aware that antidepressants can have improved response over the longer term, but I told him I thought I was likely beyond the point of getting any additional improvement. He wasn't sanguine about the possibility, but he held onto it as a chance.
And #3, well, I'm just disappointed, is all. Ok, more than that: after I had a chance to sleep on it, I was pissed at him. A lot of work to find another pdoc willing to prescribe an oral maoi. I'd hoped that an academic pdoc would be different, but turns out they're just as human as every other pdoc.
At least I'm motivated to keep trying. Before the emsam worked, I'd almost given up hope of something working to lift the depression. Now I'm sure SOMETHING will work, eventually.
