I've been clinically depressed since i was 43. i am now 75. i've taken every antidepressant on the market i think. i never get used to it. it' s like existing, not living. i never get used to it.

Tough case.....: I assume you have been on one of the maoi"s and possibly have been to electroconvulsive therapy and maybe had amphetamine salts?

Sorry.: Depression is very difficult and serious to deal with. I am sorry to hear about how you feel. It still might be worth trying a new psychiatrist or counselor. Best of luck to you.

Other options: I'm sorry to hear that you've had such difficulty. Your doctors must be wanting to find solutions also. Additional options may be adding methyl-folate to augment your medicines; also transcranial magnetic stimulation might help; ECT as outpatient benefits some as well. Sometimes classical homeopathy with an experienced homeopath may help too.
