I know I shouldn't give up on treatment and pretend I'm OK because I've had less than perfect responses and undesirable side effects in the past, but it's tough. The only reason I'd consider EMSAM is because it's completely different than any medication than I've taken. I won't an SSRI again, for sure. Maybe something else.
Maybe in a few years some new drugs will actually be approved and on the market, but it's such a slow process. I don't have much hope for anything new in the near future.
There's always talk about new and innovative medications and research being done, especially in relation to genetics, but realistically, we have not benefitted from major advancements in depression meds since the beginning of the "Prozac era".
