Thanks scott, respect your opinion. Already been through a trial of Nardil and Parnate, even at high doses. Was up to 90mg parnate. Decided I needed to attack my ADHD component and doctor wasn't about to rx adderall with an MAOI, so I switched from Parnate to Effexor....in hindsight, that was probably the switch that launched me into my current depressive episode.
Only been one week on 200mg of Nortryptiline, and have a Dr appointment this week when I assume he will direct me to get my blood level checked. On Namenda because im' also in the middle of a course of ECT treatment. Agomelatine i'm on to help with sleep and becuase it's supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but since i'm still feeling like sh*t, i will probably not reorder when I'm out of this batch. And Ixel, well on that for just 2 weeks now too, so haven't given it a full trial yet.
You know, I guess if you do the math, there are gonna be some unlucky souls who just are part of that small % of people who are resistant to every treatment known. And who knows why...perhaps I'm resistant because for some sick reason I WANT to stay depressed. You never know, deep down, unconsciously, despite all my attempts to fight it....who knows.
All I know is that I'm in a state of misery that seems to get worse every day, and sooner or later, I'm going to just decide to get outta here. So it's a race against the clock I feel like, trying to find that combo that will work, before my time is up.
