Shellie,
I can sure relate to your frustrations. I know it doesn't help much, but you aren't alone. Plenty of us have the same difficulties and problems with our depressions, our medications, and our doctors. I sure feel for you. But you are smart and strong willed. More than your pdoc will ever know.I wouldn't put so much emphasis on reputation. After all, if your doc has been impotent at ending your suffering with six years of her best, then that reputation seems meaningless to me. So what if she's supposedly good with treatment resistance in other people. Doesn't matter. She's not good with that in your case. Results are what matter. Not reputation. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you found another doctor with only half the reputation, but much greater success with your unique case.
Hang in there. I know you're doing your best. Everything will work out. You sound smart, strong willed, and determined to me. Those are powerful ingredients for success.
John
