oh god, sunrise. thank you so much for typing all of that out for me. it's just in my language, i could understand that. thank you so, so, so much.

also, thank you both sunrise & depressme for sharing your experience with it. it helps to know that it's been helpful to at least a few people - and like it's been pointed out earlier, if it doesn't work for me, i can just stop.

i know i'm not the worst-case-depressive out there, but certainly i haven't come across anyone else in my circle of life (small as it may be) that has been on so many ADs/pharmy combinations and not had it work for them. so it's reassuring that there are other people who have tried this before me, because if anything, i feel a bit alone in this.

i will do a heap of reading over the weekend so i can give informed consent on monday when i see pdoc next.
