Hi Racer,
Thanks for responding and I'm not going to jump down your throat about the placebo bit as you're entitled to your opinion and I expect your opinion is based on your own experiences with Antidepressants.
But I have to say that I know hand on heart that the response I had within a couple of days was not placebo, a) because the experience was far too profound, I literally felt as though I'd stepped through this portal into a 3 dimensial world, it may however be that I was not experiencing the true antidepressant effect but some other chemical effect. All I can say is that the first few times I ever took them my depression was totally erradicated and very quickly. B) I just don't respond to anything in a placebo kind of way, if that was the case the two years I spent trying everything under the sun would have given me a placebo effect antidepressant type response and they didn't. The rTMS that I had in vancouver would have initially helped, the hypnotherapy I had would have initially helped etc, etc.
Thanks for your advice though about my relationship with my psychiatrist and I have tried to explain to him and other people at the hopsital that we have communication problems but that really istn't the issue is it? I guess the issue is that he is not offering enough options or possibilities and the fact that unless it has been completely tried and tested to the hilt he doesn't really want to know.
Denise
