Well, as some of you might know/remember, I just finished up a 16 week clinical depression study.
I'm diagnosed as having Major Depressive Disorder.
Well, it was a double-blind study so not even my shrink knew what I was on until it was over.
I was on Lexapro, it did nothing for me. that's the bad news.
The good news was that I had my 15 minute visit with my shrink this morning and he is rushing me through screening to get me into a different study they are running.
He has much higher expectations with this study and in anxious to get me in it.
So I go back next week for a 2.5 hour initial visit (Initial for this study).
Not looking forward to fasting 12 hours, but they have to get baselines on me again.
These long visits mean, MD visit, 2 different shrink evals, a full lab work up and a teleconference with yet another shrink, fun stuff.
Anyway, here's hoping this study might find me a (free!) drug that will actually work for me.
