I did get my pdoc to see me earlier. He won’t put me on Emsam bc he says it’s too complicated and requires too much lab work. He bumped up the lexapro to 10mg and told me to add vitamin D3 and folic acid. So many pills. I asked if I should go back for more ECT and he said I could but let’s see if the lexapro helps first. Idk. I just don’t know what to do. I think I’m being a big whiny self pitying baby.

I'm so sorry you are feeling so bad. It's not your fault. The depression is making you think that but it's not true.
I know this is probably useless information but I've' not had a single lab draw related to Emsam in the last 14 years. I think your pdoc maybe has it confused with another med, maybe clozapine.
Vit D can really help a lot if you have a low blood level. I remember feeling the difference when I started to get that leveled out.
I hope you can get through this soon.
