sorry for the late reply. Not sure why I didn't reply before, I'm sure I did in my head. What are your main symptoms. I've seen you've been here before me, so I don't think I don't know what you are trying to get rid of, but judging by the meds it sounds like a treatment resistant MDD.

It is always the same old story with me. 3 days. I can't imagine what might possibly be happening so rapidly in the brain physiologically to produce such a quick relapse. There is a clue hidden somewhere within those 3 days.

I have all but exhausted those that currently exist. Tianeptine I have not tried. I would not combine it with an MAOI without evidence proving that it can be done safely. I am growing more and more interested in rTMS. Unfortunately, I will probably have to wait until Medicare covers it, if it ever does.
