From SLS: I am not terribly impressed with Emsam. If you are even mildly improved on it, I would say that this indicates that trials of Nardil or Parnate might be warranted before continuing on to ECT.
Scott - already tried Parnate. It worked some 20 years ago and then on no antidepressant meds for over 10 years. Didn't need them. In the past two years, with depression coming back, amongst other med's, I tried Parnate again. This time, only minimal improvement as with the Emsam. Maybe Nardil is a possibility. I will ask my pdoc, but I am in such a bad way now a days, that I am not sure I can continue to work and function through another trial of medications. I will see next Wednesday when I see my pdoc. Also seeing the ECT doc that day to get things more in place with him and anesthesiology. Thanks for your ideas.
