My opinion your best choices are:
Nortriptyline+Zoloft
Nortriptyline+Prozac
Nardil
ParnateOf that list I favor the first one because of the inherent built-in pain relief and sleep aid from nortriptyline.
Cymbalta is touted as a SNRI, which it really isn't. For a true SNRI that can be custom tailored to you, Nort+Zoloft does that, and comes with pain relief as a side benefit.
Treatment resistant infection is a lame excuse for them to use. It simply means they haven't used the right stuff. The stuff they thought was appropriate didn't work, in other words. The stuff they didn't think was appropriate just might work miracles. Look no further than Lyme wars to see that scenario in play. People can fail one anti-infectious agent after another, dozens of them, and then land on a miracle, usually something that really didn't seem to make much sense at the time. Not to mention, when someone combines some of the common Lyme herbs with anti-infectious meds, the meds become much more effective. It is also a common flaw to think we know what the infection is....bacterial or whatever. In Lyme wars, we see Bartonella go away with meds that are not known to hit Bartonella. We see Lyme symptoms go away with things that aren't even antibacterial at all, such as Diflucan. How do we know that infection isn't some occult version of a fungi or mold or some bizarre strain of bacteria? We don't. There is no way to accurately test. If they are basing treatment purely on tests, your odds of success drop significantly. So when they say the infection is treatment resistant, I totally disagree. They only scratched the surface.
