cache-monkey,
thanks for the reply, it is very helpful.She is a completely treatment resistant patient.
Her doctor decided to try her on selegiline (15mg 2x daily=30mg) and 1000mg of phenylalinine. Keep in mind she had to gradually get up to the dose of selegiline slowly and then added the phenylalinine. So far she has got her energy back and is functioning much better, her concentration has improved i.e. she can now read a book which was previously tough for her to do because of the depression.
She definitely still struggles but there is an improvement. I just hope it doesn't poop out on her like all her previous meds.
She has unipolar depression so I am not sure how you (slightly bi-polar which means highs and lows right?) would react to it because it does give her energy and she has difficulty falling asleep, something she didn't have before. Be careful and talk to your doctor about it! Please let me know how you are doing and what the outcome is!
