I don't know if anyone's ever heard of Dr. Sheldon H. Preskorn of the University of Kansas School of Medicine at Wichita. I haven't but there must be scads of pdocs out there who've written books, articles, & columns.
I came across his site in doing a search about diff SSRIs & thought someone may be interested in the information he provides on treating depression when one doesn't respond well to initial treatment. He mentions the combinations that can be used & the strategies used for treating adverse reactions as they arise. He gives a whole range of diff meds & augmentation that could help.
It's the first time I've found such detailed information in one place on the net. It may prove beneficial for those who'd like to discuss further treatments with their doctor. Now you may not need to ply her/him with so many questions that aren't always answered clearly by them.
The site is a chapter out of one of his books. If you're interested, go to the home page & look at the other book & columns he's written that are available on the net.
Cam, Elizabeth, Spike, & anyone else knowledgable, I'm curious what you may think.
