I am also pissed off, statred in 1994 when Roche stopped making the only med that worked for me, Marplan, saying there were so many other newer meds available that is was the best business decision for them. Thank you very much!
Years of struggling, not really living, alive on many SSRI's but dead at the same time, questioning everything in life, wanting to live, wanting to die, not knowing what I wanted.
Today, still pissed off, followed my pdocs advice unquestioningly for all the years since, not ever achieving another significant period of time free of depression.
Now in my final struggle to get this under control. Entering a new phase in my life. Had to stop working, turned a significant age, pissed off the meds touted as the 'latest and greatest' do nothing for me. Then only ones to dent the depression are still the MAOi's, but not as well as the early Nardil and Marplan did. Drug companies messing with something that worked well for me and many other because they did not make money from it!
I blame Pharmas for many of my current problems, changing formulas (Nardil, Parnate), discontinuing manufacturing of Marplan (Roche), little new effective meds for my type of depression (TRD),lots of new meds for standard depression (acute, unipolar, endogenous).
PISSED OFF everyday but getting help faster and better by pushing the envelope as the anger propels me forward. Wish I was angry the last 10 years or so, but the SSRI's made me happy and passive in life, short term solution not for a life long solution.
