Question
Hi
I need some advice.  I've been depressed for four years and have been on every medicine.  Nothing works. I've also been to very good MD's.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

Answer
Hi . . .

Nobody has been on all medications even one at a time and certainly no one has been on all the combinations such as Vivactil (protriptyline) + Cytomel + lithium.

You should have a consultation with one of the experts at
