[quote=jen29;1178281]Hi everyone,

I have been taking my meds as prescribed mostly through out the past 13 years. I have been wondering if meds are even worth it anymore. I have been on so many different medications and sometimes have been on them more than once.

You have treatment resistant depression.

My depression was treatment resistant as well. Something might vaguely work for awhile, but not really. I just went off all of my antidepressants at once, which was a very stupid thing to do but which is kind of common for people like me.

My Psydoc put me on the EMSAM PATCH, 6mg; it has really worked. I'm going to ask to go up to the 9mg patch next time I see him.

Google "deprenyl" -- that's basically the ingredient in the Emsam Patch. I'm freakin delighted, though I still have some days where I'm just beyond the reach of chemistry! Mike
