>Dear Glenn,
Thank you so much for responding! Your message gave me hope. You see, discouragement is a big part of my problem and the bozos I have thus far seen have been a real obstacle to my getting well. I have struggled for so long (since my teens and I am 50 now). I have finally after years of fighting it, accepted that I have a mood disorder in addition to cycles of deep depression. The depressions get deeper and worse the longer I sink. One thing I am really clear on is that the SUN helps me enormously! For instance, this winter when I was in California (San Diego area) I took daily sunbaths and came ALIVE! This is a huge component for me not to be overlooked.I live in dreary grey cold New England and it is the absolute WRONG climate for me. I have Seasonal Affective Disorder BIG TIME. But it's not just that. And for me to accept meds it's got to be from a Dr I can have faith in who's really on the beam. I am so grateful to you for the name of Dr Jensen. I am planning to move to Encinitas as soon as possible but I am so depressed (Black hole for the last month now, can barely bath dress or feed myself),
I can't even move forward with that.
I think I will give Dr Jensen a call and see what he says.
I have done well on Celexa in the past ~ it lifted my depression and soothed my anxiety. Was on it for 8 months. Prozac made me feel fantastic, but caused angry outbursts. The last Doc I went to put me on Lithium - it made me feel terrible. My sister had the same reaction.
Anyway, thank you so much. I would be glad to hear from you more about your experience.
Peaceful wishes
Magee
ps Are you English?Just a thought, why not try a proper psychopharmacologist who found the right drug for me in 30 minutes ( after years of fools).
