Good luck.
The other day I think I just read an article about a possible new treatment for treatment resistant depression. If I remember correctly they found some combination or variation on a medication that seems to be effective. I wish I could remember more now, or even where I read it.

I can't say how close it might be to being on the market but it might be something worth asking about if you see a doc. Just doing a quick search I only found Symbyax but I don't think that was it. It is a combination antidepressant (SSRI/Prozac) and an anti-psychotic (Zyprexa) that was designed to treat this disorder but I do not know how effective it is.

I wish I could give you more detailed information.

Thank you all for the replies/
