Hi John.
> i know this is a pro-med site, but any thought to finding a place (not a hospital) but a residential treatment place or community that in addition to (or not) meds may be a new approach?
I did that for a few years. I was also in a partial hospitalization program that I went to on a daily basis for almost ten years. I manage to get out of bed okay. I just have nothing to do for the rest of the day. The people at the programs are simply too sick for me to be around. I was hoping that Nardil would have gotten me back to work. That would be structure.
21 months is long enough. Of course 21 years is, too. Any time spent in depression is too much. I hope you are able to add structure to your life. I'm sure it would be helpful for the health of your mind even if it can't be helpful for the health of your brain. It sounds like you are heading in the right direction.
Thanks for the ideas.I have tramadol and hydrocodone to play with, but I am reluctant to try these opioids. I'm afraid they might work.
