First, there's Emsam. Take the patch, 6mg, along with 500mg of PEA in the morning.
Second, drugs besides that combo don't work. And in case Emsam+PEA don't work, although they did for me after I tried everything else for a couple of years, and worked fast, well, that's when you need to see if you can get ECT or at least a transcranial stimulation therapy (the one that's not an implant, I think, right? I might be confusing one with the implant).
Yes, yes, I know, ECT is bad, yes yes, gentle reader. Well, tell that to the Hunchback of Notre Dame who I saw in the hospital of a reputable and prestigious hospital on the East Coast, who went from walking with his spine and head curved toward the floor to in a single day the next day entirely straight posture, head high, and smiling for what appeared as though was the first time in years.
ECT works when you go to a hospital that knows what they're doing, and does it all the time, like the hospital I'm referring to, I think you all know the name. It's like surgeries, I mean, you go to the surgeon who does 200 surgeries of the same operation a year, you don't go to some random place in Olkeda Oklahoma with a private practice guy who just bought the cheapest ECT machine he could justify buying.
I dare anyone to give me horror stories out of a Harvard teaching hospital's ECT procedure. And as far as memory goes, it's for the 2 weeks leading up to the event that gets hazy, and if you're depressed, you probably haven't done much that bears remembering during those 2 weeks anyway.
