Hi again, Cellular. Welcome to the forum and thanks for your input.
With the exception of a bunch of the MAOIs, TMS and ECT, I feel like I've tried everything and every class of ADs, APs, etc. I haven't been lucky w/ pdocs (ironic, as I live in NYC and one would think there must be a few good ones here). I'm 38 and have been dealing with depression since I was 14. I didn't tell anyone in my family when I was a teenager as I was too embarrassed and thought that how I felt was "normal." I first sought help in college after my first major breakdown. Depression has been my baseline as long as I can remember.
I'm seeing a new pdoc next week and have heard stellar reviews. He offers outpatient Ketamine shots and in office TMS, plus all the psychopharmacology. I know better than to be hopeful, but I need something right now. As far as the pain meds go, the codeine just kicked in and my mood is now temporarily "up." I'm at the point where I'd take a morphine drip if I could.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. I hope you're in a good place.
