Dear mist,
Hang in there! I hope your doc does give you a trial, if it is deemed safe to do so.
Waiting a month! I hate that kinda stuff. I begin to obsess over the treatment, whatever it may be, and it invades my every thought. I have had refractory depression for yrs. and each time I decided to try something new, I wanted it in my system immediately! Patience goes out the window.
Very hard for me to control. (I have recently been diagnosed ADD, so at least I get some immediate support from a stimulant while I wait for the A-D to kick in).Around here it is DERMATOLOGISTS who are booked 6-7 months ahead. I think it must have s/t to do with the popularity of Accutane and the fact that most skin disorders (like psoriasis) are rarely cured, only 'managed'.
Are you taking any other meds for your depression?
nightlight.
