Hi Gil.
> This is my observation after 3 years on meds and 3 years of itensive research on the internet. The people who are doing well on their meds and dosages are not on the internet....they are happy well adjusted folks living a fullfilling life. Most of the people, myself included, who spend a lot of time reading posts and staying on the internet are still in search of some med or combo that will set them free from their demons so to speak so you will get more negativity than positive stories. There appears to be huge amount of med jumping and or changing in hopes of some cure or "bad-aid" Oh no no that again.
> I hope this helps.
Thank you. It has. I have definitely lost any sense of how well these drugs work in "real life" in the general population. The success stories that you have described went a long way to help acquaint me with how frequently occurs non-treatment-resistant depression. What a novel concept - depression that is not treatment-resistant. Who would have thunk? :-)I think you are right. After I wrote my "inclusion criteria", I realized that I knew of almost no one on PB who would meet them. I guess I should revise the question so that it doesn't require any conditions of eligibility.
Thanks for responding. I have an appointment with my doctor today. At my last visit, we were trying to decide whether to go next with Nardil or Effexor. I leave in about an hour. I am still on the fence.
