> No medication options because she said the other one would know my history and responses. She is a psychiatrist and asked if i was taking a multivitamin. Are u stupid? Of course i do. Plus fish oil, nac, extra vit d. Not to mention trying every other supplement and natural remedy.
> I think i had more of a nervous breakdown when my other dr told me that at this point it is just going to be trying to focus on finding fun stuff, also what this othee pdoc told me. I find nothing fun, i dont feel like doing anything, sometimes its painful to do anything that people think is "fun".

That is no good; you can absolutely tell her everything she needs to know about your meds and responses.

If you haven't already, you need to locate a major medical center with a good psychiatry department and get an appointment for a consultation with someone who's really up on both the older pharmacopeia and new research. You may need to wait a bit if they are very booked up, but it will probably be worth it.

I have been for consulting opinions on several occasions. Each time, I walked away with options. If you bring a written list of your meds history, reactions, symptoms, etc., a new doctor should be able to get the picture pretty quickly, give at least a preliminary opinion on your diagnosis, and start to think through some ideas.

And you need the psychiatrist who treats you regularly to not throw in the towel on you. Do you have any other options for local psychiatrists?

Good luck.
