Hi Phillipa,
I came here to post a disaster report on Trileptol, but then I saw this thread and something about you struggling. One of the last messages was something about your thyroid.Mine has not acted up (knock on wood) but I remember when they tested my function to see if that might be one of the causes of my "treatment-resistant-everything". It came back OK.
But they told me that a malfunctioning thyroid can cause all sorts of metabolic problems. Figuring out what role the metabolic problems might play in treatment-resistant depression sounded like unknown territory for them.
I hope that's not what's going on with you. Maybe the change of venue with a new PhD (psychologist?) and pdoc will help, if only because some kind of change is needed.
I assume you have a regular MD and/or specialist who's on top of the thyroid? If he/she could hook up with the new pdoc and therapist, that would be great. That's the kind of support network I have now. I like it because everyone always knows what's going on and I don't have to play gopher to keep them coordinated.
Regardless of all that, I really appreciate your supportive responses to my incoherent posts. I hope things start working out for you.
