Refractive depression and meds

Posted by mbailey on February 16, 2004, at 20:28:10

My husband was diagnosed with atypical depression and was taking MAOIs. But the MAOIs stopped working in fall and he crashed big time. He just bottomed out the other day and is now on his way back up. He is taking: norpramin (50 mg), lithium (900 mg). He is also on testim (1.5%).

The norpramin is scheduled to go to 75 then 100 then to 150 every two days.

Today he was told by his doc that he has refractory depression. I looked online but I couldnt really find anything on it that explained what it was.

Can someone tell me what it is? I know he takes meds, they work for a while then dont and he starts again with something new. (Usually its not so bad as it was with the MAOI.) But looking on this site it seems like that is typical.

What do you know about htis combo of meds? Has it been helpful?

Thanks!
Jean
