> Thoughts & comments please..IMHO, Treatment resistant depression is an ongoing condition. I have struggled with it for half my life. During that time I have been on several different drug cocktails (Your cocktail, two AD's and a benzo, seems perfectly acceptable...). If a regime is working, celebrate and keep working out the issues in therapy. When the meds loose there effectiveness, then it's time to worry, and start talking about the next course of treatment, if needed.
