Bleauberry:
That is totally awesome that you got 70% remission without using any of the psych drugs. Heck, I'd take 50%, 30%, 10% and think it was a miracle. I don't know your complete story (have you seen you on these boards off and on when I visit), but perhaps something triggered your depression later in life that made it "beatable?" For me, I suspect there is at best an incorrectable (without medical intervention) environmentally produced change in my brain from the time I was born (due to my mother's severe mental health issues) and at worst, a genetic predisposition to anxiety and depression. I wish that it weren't so. I certainly wish that my many forays into the world of herbs, supplements and "alternative" treatments (yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, etc.) did anything except a big fat nothing. But that's the way it's been for me. Force me to work and take care of myself, and I'm completely immobilized by paralyzing fear. I can't beat myself up anymore about this, as I am already completely emasculated and humiliated. Not on anything at the moment, but am going to try Nardil soon. Most of the SSRIs have failed me and I just can't go on like this much longer. Good luck to you.
