In reply to Treatment-Resistant Depression, please help!, posted by topdog on March 7, 2013, at 8:08:50
> Hi, this is my first post, though i have read the forum for years..lol.
>
> I have had depression for 10 years from which i wasn't depressed for 5 when i was on Nardil, now i am 28. I have too little dopamine in my brain so SSRI's or TCA's can't fix this only a MAOi - Nardil can. Now i have been of off Nardil for 3 month's because the med is not available in my country and i can't obtain it from UK anymore.
>
> For the last months i have been in what i call the "zone-0" where i have no emotions, no motivation, no social life, just this extremely sh*t*y feeling of nothingness. I have tried sport, work, going out with friend's, therapy, nothing helps. It is the constant line of feeling absolutely no emotion whatsoever, only painful empty existence.
>
> I can feel how there is some kind of malfunction in this organism i exist in.. yet i did't create it, so, how should i know how to fix it? lol
>
> Without Nardil everything is too hard for me and i stay at home 98% of the time, so, basically, i'm dead, or.. actually worse, i'm in pain.
>
> As far as i know, Nardil is the only med that gives me life. Without it, it's like being locked up in 1 square meter jail. I have tried every other AD known to human race with 0 results, all the SSRI's, TCA's, even antipsychotic(shame on me). But...when on Nardil ..I'm the top dog patrolling the beach:) ..feeling the system booted up again
>
> So, as far as i can see from my square meter, my options are basically 0.
>
> What should i do? Should i move to another country where Nardil is available or i should i use all my savings to go to foreign country and try to obtain loads of Nardil and then came back home? I wouldn't know how the above would even be possible me feeling so anxious and depressed all the time.
>
> Sorry me being so negative! But my mind just can't grasp the concept that, there exists a situation from where there is no way out.... :S
>
>
> Please help! My main question is that how would i get my dopamine levels up again, any other substances??
> Also, has anyone had any experience with the new, upcoming anti-depressant class, Ketamine based AD's- "NMDA receptor antagonists". Have anyone tried Ketamine itself, have you got relief from it?

> Greetings to you ACE-the Nardil veteran! Also, best wishes Philippa for your supporting posts.

> Let's fight it on!
