> Interesting to see you are doing well on such a combination of medicine, and encouraging too. I wonder, how did you come about this cocktail.. did your doctor recommend those supplements (I don't know much about L-Thyrosine) or did you come to that conclusion on your own?All of them on my own, inspired by some good ideas on this board. Just tried them without the knowledge of my doctor, but then told her afterwards.
I do not even know one doctor who recommended such thing to a patient (I visit a local support group for over one year and know a lot about the treatment of other patients). Some of them say that its just the placebo effect I feel. Hmm, but I dont think so (why didnt I do good on my prior medication if it only is the placebo effect?).
> When did it seem to be apparent that they were helping your depression, and what worked the "best" if any one could be picked?Im general right from the first few days.
The "best" is Omega-3 for me. Brilliant for sleep and "the awful feeling of depression in my brain, like a stange headache". (maybe this sounds weired, but I experience it that way)> I just moved to a new area and my doctor had no referral to give me, so I'm looking for a new one. Hopefully we can further delve into the issue by exploring other treatment options, and not just give the infamous "TRD" or "personality disorder" diagnosis. Thanks for your help.
