So how did it go? Was he upset that you started the cymbalta without him?


One strong suggestion I would make is to ask for a Genesight test. It tells you what psychotropic drugs are most likely to be effective based on your genetic markers. I've literally tried over a dozen different antidepressants and I was not at all surprised to see that all of them were not on the list of meds most likely to be most effective. In fact, there are only three in that column and I've already failed one of those. My prescribing nurse has decided to put me on Latuda, an antipsychotic that's supposed to help with major depressive disorder. It's too soon to tell.

The only truly effective treatment for my severe depression is ketamine infusions.
