> Ilene, I encouage you to hang on and keep trying to find a med combo that works. It took me a long time. I was very very depressed and suicidal. But eventually with the help of an endocrinologist for my thyroid problems, my pdoc and I foudn a combo that worked decently and then I could start to recover. It wasn't instantaneous--it was hard work even after the meds started working, but it did eventually happen.

I'm hoping if Marplan works for me I can start rebuilding my life. I don't know what I will do if it doesn't help. I'm afraid I will go beyond suicidal ideation. I need support IRL, and it just isn't here.
Thank you.
I.
