Good post, bleauberry.
I wish I didn't have to rely on psych meds for partial remission, but they have been instrumental in helping me.
I have yet to try MAOIs, but Nardil is always on the back burner for me if need be. I'm in total agreement with you about looking at mental illness from different angles, and for those dealing with psych docs, only the ones who think out of the box have been helpful to me. I currently take Tramadol, and it's prescribed by my psych doc. You mentioned Vicodin; I think opiates (any med that works on the Mu receptor) are a really great option for depression.
I agree with you about diet as well. Such an important factor.
Anyway, great to hear you're well!
