I am dealing with a very stubborn depression. My pdoc was explaining how difficult it is to treat depression when there is PTSD/C-PTSD superimposed upon it. We've decided, being treatment-resistant, we'd increase the stimulant (Adderall). Amphetamines were used for TR depressions before tricyclic meds were available. We will see how it goes.

I am in a similar position with Enbrel. It's been prescribed. I am deciding if I want to take a biologic and when. I'd really like to get this depression under some kind of control first, if possible. I am tired of adding meds. I am also tired of the expenses associated with meds and with care.

Had a good day. My niece visited for lunch and stayed 4 hours. We'd had a video chat with my nephew serving in Afghanistan. Technology is both amazing and frustrating. Lol.

Jan --I love to read the stories about Belle. I'd also slept 24/7 on Cymbalta.

Cake -- Are you going to ever be afforded a break? Goodness!

Kiya -- Thanks for the hugs.

Gus -- Thanks for the gorgeous pics!

~Christina -- My heart goes out to you.

Liz -- How is the blogging going? I've lost the link.

I hope I did not miss anyone. I am falling asleep. Lol.

Love to All!
