[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 37627"] So you may be at a point where the thought of trying yet another medication is just too much to think about. There are other ways to help alleviate depression. My daughter's therapist cannot take AD's because of medication interactions so she uses alternative methods. She uses a combination of things such as St. Johns Wart (which, with your sensitivity to things I wouldn't recommend without doctor supervision), light therapy and acupuncture. I don't know about the acupuncture, personally, but I know light therapy has been studied and can be useful in treating some forms of depression. It's also VERY important that you see someone...a therapist. I can't stress that enough. Even if you do take an AD, the best results are medications and therapy together. With your sensitivity to medications, I would say it's even more important. Also, and especially because of your medication sensitivities, I would demand a referral from your regular doctor to a psychiatrist. You need someone more trained and experienced with the various medications working with you. [/QUOTE]
