What do you suggest for major depression and PTSD?
Patient: I am drug resistant, major depression and PTSD.   You would not know it to look at me.  I have a great husband, six figure income and I my Rx drugs are pooping out- my prescriber refuses to stop listening to the drug reps, the medicine to 'augment' the cymbalta helped me gain 30 pounds and now I have high blood pressure. That company of Seroquel has paid over a half a billion in settlements, but she thinks since the Rep says it's ok, it must be.  Then, I say, you take the stuff and see what happens to your body, dang it. I am sorry, but I can't wait for my children to finish school so I can end my pain myself.  I am an intelligent woman, but when cancer patients have no hope, they can go to Oregon, or Switzerland or Denmark.  Why can't people have compassion and just let me..go.  It would be a mercy to me. Doctor: HelloI can understand what you are going through but to get better and enjoy life is much better than ending your life. There are a large number of options to get better like medicines, psychotherapy ,deep brain stimulation,rTMS etc. So give yourself another chance , may be consultation with some other doctor help.Dr Saatiish Jhunttraa
