I don't feel compelled to do anything in life but to survive and follow my passions and perceived duties. Don't worry too much about my motives. I guarantee that they are altruistic.
Your journey has not been influenced by me at all. Almost, though. This was a few months ago.
1. For God's sake, avoid drugs that inhibit the reuptake of serotonin 5-HT for THREE months. This is the second time that I offered the same advice as conveyed to me by people with letters after their last names - for what value you place on that. That you are still bent on retrying Effexor again right now -, after your describing one failure after another using this drug - demonstrates a major lack of critical thinking when it comes to your treatment attempts and your personal theories and the use of personal experiments. Einstein was right. My guess is that your competence in critical thinking operates flawlessly in every other aspect of your life. At this point, neglecting the treatment that experts render in TRD as reported by me is tantamount to ignoring the suggestions of experts that you will never have access to.
2. You continue to neglect the use of nortriptyline - a drug that gives you a 75% improvement? Why? You just don't get it. You are not likely to find remission without applying the expertise and clinical wisdom that I learned through my interactions of a long series of seasoned experts. Getting people well does not depend on knowing the psychopharmacology of Effexor as compared with that of Pristiq. There are very obvious differences in their CLINICAL behaviors.
3. I don't know what treatment will ultimately free you from being chained to the bottom of a murky ocean. Yours has obviously failed. Those of mine and TRD experts failed up until two years ago. I never bothered with the palliative crap that has not brought people to remission.
Good luck.
