That is, that if you haven't tried treating your depression with an integrative-oriented LLMD, or with antibiotics, then you have not even come anywhere close to having tried every medication. The best cures that my eyes have seen in the world of psychiatry came from non-psychiatric prescriptions. That's all I wanted to say.

>In fact I have tried Milnacipran. And various antibiotics, minocyclin, doxycyclin, ciproflacin, flagyl. And d-cycloserine. zyprexa etc. are a no-go because I'm an engineer and I can't think on those meds and I just lay in bed all day. prozac + ritalin = extreme sedation. prozac + modafinal = extreme sedation.
Really, I have tried nearly class of medication even remotely relevant to depression. Including biologic an anti-TNF drug. And then many combinations.
the thing that comes closest to working is prozac + desipramine. The cardiac side-effects don't allow me to stay on it long.
