Another psych med aphorism: “Everything works for somebody; nothing works for everybody.”
I take the first part to mean that for every odd, off-off-label medication, there is *somebody* somewhere it has helped.
The more hopeful interpretation is that for each depressed person, there is *some* drug somewhere that will help her. I don't know if that’s true, but based on my recent success with buprenorphine, I encourage people to act as if it is. Find a good creative pdoc and try try try.
