Thanks partlycloudy. The fact that you reached out despite your own difficulties means a lot to me. I am sorry you are having a rough go of it as well. I am sorry I over-reacted but I am really at the end of my rope and to have my original post seemingly ignored while someone else's post was responded to in what I considered my thread just set me off today.
I have seen this p-doc off and on for about 19 years. Other psychiatrists have seen me. She hasn't mentioned anything as specific as "treatment resistant" although that would certainly be the implication. She won't prescribe MAOIs because I could use them to kill myself. God forbid they should be the class of medications that would make me want to live again. It isn't like I have a history of suicide attempts. I don't self-injure. I know I need a second opinion but I don't have a lot of options due to my medical insurance.I am just completely lost and don't know what to do anymore.
