Thank you very much for the information you provided. An older article is appreciated, too! I ideally would like the newest information available, but I also understand that there was a good 20 or so year period where SSRIs and SNRIs and AAPs like Seroquel/quetiapine were the big thing in (published) biopsychiatric studies on depression. I imagine that's probably because that's where the money is - who wants to prove that a drug class that's been available in generic for 50 years is possibly more effective and far less risky than previously suggested.
I've printed the information out for my next appointment (tomorrow.)
I will definitely give the medicine an adequate trial before suggesting augmentation; I just have this fear of losing my momentum and therefore my chance at being prepared as far in advance as possible. Losing momentum and sinking into my usual pit of do-little-to-nothing is something that has happened many times in the past; I know this is one of my own major weaknesses. Therefore, I try to get all the information I have both printed, read, and available so I'm prepared for all eventualities.
Thank you again for all you have provided. The reassurance alone was helpful, and the information good too. Thanks!
