> Hi,Denise
I am in Ireland and have suffered from Treatment Resistance Depression for as long as I can remember. Like you I could not find a psydoc that would prescribe anything other than the normal run
of the mill meds. Then after alot of persistance and looking I met a Dr who listened to everything I had to say and after I printed info from the net
that showed the benefits of stimulants for depression she being openminded prescribed dexedrine for me. Needless to say my life is much better since. Now my advice is dont give up and be more demanding its your right to get what will work for you and dont be afraid to keep changing Dr if you have to. Hope this will help some.
All the best.
