In reply to Dr gave up on meds for me. 'Try a relationship', posted by chiron on June 24, 2008, at 23:16:50
You need one of two things:
Either a new doc with experience in treatment resistance; or personal experimentation with meds from other countries mailorder. One example, you would not be the first who failed ECT and an MAOI but responded well to Milnacipran. Or someone else who did well on Parnate, had to get off, and was surprised how well Tianeptine worked.Not sure which direction I would go. Probably both actually. In any case, the doctor you were seeing did you a favor, since he apparently did not have the inherent talent to help you. Find one with a reputation for tackling the tough cases with enough success that his name is referred in peer circles.
