That pdoc's statement is inaccurate and irresponsible. There are many, many more strategies that can be tried. Effexor is one. There are still more kinds of antidepressants. There are many kinds of augmentation strategies. There is adding cognitive therapy to antidepressant treatment. There are lots of options. I wouldn't stay in treatment with a doc who was pessimistic about my treatment outcome. I like to work with a doc who knows his or her stuff and who is on my side.
