I don't really know what to do any longer, but wanted you to know that you are not the only one like that out there. Not that it necessarily provides any consolation.

Anyway, I'm not glad you are in the same boat, but it IS good to know that I'm not alone. I could swear I read that a few million people have treatment resistant depression, which is odd, as most doctors I've been to are fairly surprised by it, and by their "treatment" of me, I can swear that I'm the only treatment resistant patient they have ever had.
Thanks for responding.
