Fido:

Wow, I don't like your psychiatrists very much. It's no wonder you feel upset and lost. The fact that none of them will think outside the box and will not even offer a TCA or MAOI inhibitor shows (to me, at least) that they are probably not the best people for your condition. My psychiatrist's attitude is (he even said this to me today), "I'll try anything." And he has not given up on me in six years, even though I've given up on myself many times. I know there is someone out there who can give you more hope than the people you are currently seeing.

And I've seen psychiatrists like the ones you are describing. One gave me a list of three drugs I could choose from after only talking to me for 15 or 20 minutes. Another would never prescribe benzos (handed me an article the first day I came in, even though I was in the midst of the worst panic attack of my life). Still another would do like 80% of the talking in our sessions. It was like a lecture with me as his student.

Anyway, don't give up hope. Keep trying things. You'll find something that works eventually.

Chris
