Anyway, 2nd opinions are like always in person. This guy is older...so, maybe he has some other ideas.... I hope he can be helpful to you!
I react terribly to psych meds. They made me more depressed. I'm off of all prescription medicine...except I'm taking Mobic as I just broke my arm--eek!

Yikes, I am sorry about your arm. I hope you heal quickly!
Yes, these drugs suck for some of us, I guess.
In my case, Lamictal made me extremely suicidal and I can already head that way on my own anyway. Cymbalta killed my short term memory. And Prozac made me think I had awful food poisoning; I probably should have gone to the hospital.
My depression is quite severe (thus the applying for disability soon), so I don't think St. John's Wort would do much for me, although I know it works great for some people. I will ask about it though. Thanks.
And yes this guy def.
is older...my childhoood therapist took me to see him when I was 9 and he tried to give me Paxil, which is seriously off-label for that age and should never be done. I was thinking that blast from the past might be a nice ice breaker when we meet again??
