Thankyou for your reply. Wouldn't an intestinal infection affect your ability to absorb the medication? Maybe the medication failed you because it couldn't get into the bloodstream where it needed to be. (Can you tell I'm really hoping that's the right answer?) I know that everyBODY is different in how it responds to medication, but it still makes me nervous when I hear of a medication working well for someone and then NOT. As I was posting last night I thought of the movie "Awakenings" and suddenly identified with the catatonic individuals who were "brought back to life" for a time, but then, as the medication stopped working, going back to their catatonic state of existence. There's a desperation in wanting this medication to work because I don't want to "go back" to that other state of existence.
Thankyou so much for responding and for your email address. I prefer to communicate through this board. I always check the box to "notify (me) of later follow-ups".
