[Sigh!] Seven of those combinations are unobtainable in San Francisco where I live. Either they are not approved by the FDA or they include a stimulant that Shrinks will not prescribe.
It would be nice to have a Shrink in whose competency one had faith. I have had some in the past but lost them due to changes of domicile. After four years of fruitless verbal sparring with ones that didn't have a clue, I finally gave up and have been Shrink-free for two years.
Ironically, during that solo period I discovered by serendipity that a combination of low-dose Lexapro and diphenhydramine, (Benedryl), worked better than anything for my major depressive disorder.
Sure wish I had someone to turn to in a crisis, though. But I knew the the Shrinks that I had would have proven as inept in emergency as they are in normalcy.
