Trouble is twofold...
The depression appears to have bitten back again over the last couple of days.Also, I'm not sure whether my doc is altogether familiar and/or supportive of augmentation.I live in England and I get the impression that we are not as advanced in supporting mental illness either. I take it you reside in the USA?
I mentioned the possibility of augmenting it last appt. and he cast the notion aside, with a somewhat perplexed look and suggested I continue battering the FXR.
Thanks again.
