Denise,
People who do not respond at all to ketamine may need a tricyclic or SNRI rather than a SSRI. There is some rationale for this that involves genetics.
I did not respond at all to intranasal ketamine, even at higher dosages. SSRIs are worthless to me. I respond best to a combination of MAOI + TCA (desipramine or nortriptyline). I have also responded partially to Effexor and Cymbalta. I had an interesting response to a combination of Effexor + nortriptyline, but it turns out I was underdosed with nortriptyline. I would actually think about revisiting this treatment if my current regime doesn't achieve remission.
How do you react to Parnate and Nardil?
How do your react to Lamictal and lithium?
Are vilazodone or vortioxetine available?
I'm sorry, but I can't support your acquiring drugs for committing suicide, regardless of how convinced you are that you would not use them. I understand your inclinations. However, if you cannot resist the impulse to procure such drugs, how can you be sure that you could resist the impulse to use them when you are in a severely suicidal state?
Often, people enter a severely suicidal state without a cognitive impetus to produce it. You have described this happening to quite often. There is clearly a neurobiolgical phenomenon that induces this kind of sucidality. In other words, suicidality is as much a part of depressive disorders as is any of the other symptoms described.

Q: What is preventing you from committing suicide now, despite the intensity of your suicidal feelings?
