hi phillipa, i feel terrible knowing you are struggling so!! you were the first to welcome me here and encouraged me to post more often.
i can't even imagine not having taste or smell, it is like insult to injury for an already depressed person. you deserve an answer, i can't for the life of me understand the medical establishment and their blase' attitude!! my mom had a rare skin condition 3 years ago, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they pumped her full of steriods, now she has extrewme bone loss, [steriod induced] and needs a knee replacement, it is outrageous!!
my family doctor actually laughed when i spoke to him initally about my mom, here were his exact words,-"your mom has some funky skin condition i never heard of"!! i swear, he even asked me to do a search and email him info if i had time, obviously, he didn't!! she finally found a specialist!!
phillipa, i am always here for you, i will pray hard you find strength and a med to help you!! when i had extreme anxiety, and trouble leaving the house, klonopin really helped, big time!! could you give that a try , [or if you have, maybe a higher dose]!! i'll talk to you soon, your friend...john
