Hi Tomatheus,
I very much appreciated your kind note, especially the suggestions with the realization that I may have tried them before...but just in case. That was VERY validating. So often people will give me suggestions of things I have tried before as if it's the first time I've heard of it and as if their idea will be my life saver. I know they are trying to help, but most of these people know I have tried their suggestions before.
THANK YOU.
I think I may have tried MAOI's when I was younger but haven't in a long time. My only idea is that my doctors are resistant to try me on them because they are afraid I will get really depressed and go to a wine and cheese tasting.
I copied/pasted the supplements you suggested that I haven't tried (there were 3) into an e-mail to my psychiatrist. What, psychiatrist, you say? Yeah. He's about as up on alternatives as a naturopath. He's been "prescribing" buddhist meditation for me for a while.
Again, thank you for your time, suggestions, and UNDERSTANDING.
