I ended up getting turned down for insurance for ECT. My doctor advised me to go inpatient to get it approved. It was still turned down. However, with speaking with the medical doctor and pdoc, it was determined that I was not absorbing meds right due to my celiac disease. Since liquids are absorbed better, I was put on liquid prozac and nortiptilyne (sp). I have honestly not felt this "normal" in the last 4 years, even despite ex pulling some awful crap while I was hospitalized. I sure hope this lasts. I even exercised today. Prayers that all of you find some meds that work for you too. (of course, I am still continuing therapy to deal with the "environmental" elements of my depression.)
