Hello Steven2601; whew this was a very long post with a lot of problems to overcome. The first major concern is the lack of care you are getting. Have you tried finding a new gp? You should have extensive testing done, mine lasted 9 months (not every day). In the end they generated about a 25 page report with all the results. My pdoc started me on risperidone right away, and then tried many different ADs over the next couple of years. Now it is 11 years later and I am still constantly depressed but I no longer feel suicidal.

I take risperidone, cymbalta, trazodone, ativan, and tegretol.

You could voluntarily commit yourself if you feel suicidal and get better testing done while you are there. No matter how you decide to go about it you have to demand proper testing be done in order to be prescribed the right medications.

BTW You may not get many replies to your post because it is so long. Try to break it up some, since most people will read a shorter post.
