Thanks for your post. I used to have the same problem with SSRIs. Each would kick in within 48hrs only to wither away within 10 days.
These days I have gone past the point of putting too much faith in a new med. I just try to take it and wait. For whatever happens.
The tianeptine idea is my own but the thyroid hormone was my doc's suggestion. He also suggested lithium. Which I may well give a go. I see him this Friday then on Sunday I'm going fishing for 2 weeks. Perfect for trying out a new med without any stress.
Actually, if anyone has any helpful tips or 'dos & donts' on taking lithium please share. I'll stick with this post instead of starting a new one. So far all I know is you need to keep your water balance and sodium intake in check.
I'm at the point of trying anything my doc suggests now. If they dont work then at least I know that and can cross them off the list.
I do like the thought of giving the new med with opoid receptor actions a go. Forgot its name. Never taken an opiate med for depression before, tho I do get mood relief from Tramadol and especially subutex! Only ever used the latter as a recreational drug but it feels very serotonergic.Escapee
