I suspect my Hashi's (and Celiac) may be a contributing factor to drugs either not working or having horrendous side effects... After 4 psychiatrists were recently consulted, it has been determined that there is no further drug (or combination thereof) that will improve my depression.

Upon hearing this I was adamant that an MAOI should be tried. None of these respected psychiatrists would prescribe one (Nardil or Parnate) They are simply afraid of being sued in case I take my life- HA! At this point, NOT prescribing an MAOI should be grounds for a negligence claim!

Anyway, I know there are many people on this site who should at least be offered a chance to take something that may help our severe depression. I'm a little disgusted with the medical community right now... I have a right to be... ECT, rTMS, Ketamine, Quantium Medicine, Accupuncture, Neurofeedback...NOTHING has offered me any relief.

Thanks for letting me vent... But...ARGGG has your psychiatrist offers you an MAOI? Why not?
