Depression Central sure has changed!! WOW!! This is great! My name is Jerry and I've battled major depression for 14 years. I'm in the "treatment-resistant" category. Like many of you - I've been on almost every antidepressant & med cocktail out there plus ECT and I was a study participant in the Vegal Nerve Stimulator clinical study (http://www.vnstherapy.com/depression/main.asp). Unfortunately it didn't workout for me - and after 2 years I elected to have it removed.
Currently I'm on a good cocktail which includes some very off-off-off-lable meds (an opiate) prescribed by my psychiatrist. I've also recent found magnesium taurate to be a "miracle" supplement for my depression & anxiety. Don't get me wrong- I'm not in full remission and I certainly still have my bad days - but things are generally better now than they have been in the past. I'm back in school working twoards my doctorate in pharmacy. I've already got a BA in Music Performance - but I've always found biochemistry fascinating! Anyway, just wanted to say hi! Feel free to say hello if you see me! Jerry :-)

Hello Jerry - Welcome!
Pharmacology? I'm glad someone likes that stuff. I do find genetics fascinating and the chemical processes that allow the brain to work. Especially the workings of neuronets. It's actually helped me understand my own thought processes and how to help change them. I'm partial to physiology - good stuff. Anyway - welcome. Songbird
