Ive found that treatment for obstructive sleep apnea with CPAP, combined with testosterone, is far superior to any psychiatry drug I ever tried. I found out that my blood oxygen was desaturating down to 84% in a sleep study. A lung doctor put me on CPAP and for the first time in ten years I had dreams and restorative sleep.
My brain was succumbing to hypoxia during my sleep and none of my psychiatrists could figure it out.
I dont understand why so many people with refractory "depression" continue trying psych drug after psych drug. If you have failed ten medications...get a clue and use your brain...it probably aint pure depression. Either a medical condition is causing or exacerbating your problem...or your diagnosis is wrong.
Oxygenate your brain...get screened for sleep apnea. Testosterone boosts mood and makes me feel aggressive and assertive, blasting away any remaining "depression."
A lot of "treatment resistant depressions" are misdiagnosed medical problems.
