Trintellix: Is is effective for you?

I haven't investigated it for myself, but perhaps you could look into TMS - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation? There is a discussion of it on today's "Connect". You can look at Reddit as well for more first hand experiences.
BTW, I just turned 80 in April, diagnosed with early PD two years ago and have suffered from depression since 16 years of age. I just switched from 20 mg Prozac (after nearly 35 years, coincidentally ) to Trintellix (5 mg) this past Monday. I was anxious about the change but am hoping it will be for the better. I was primarily motivated by alleged potential benefits of Trintellix on cognitive stability in PD patients. That is being studied now, after some initial research was positive.
I'm sorry, though not surprised, to learn of your difficulties at the VA treatment centers.
Best of luck.

I did 2 rounds of TMS already. I had no positive response the second time so it will not be covered again. I just don’t appreciate a user that implies that I haven’t tried anything. I’ve was on medication for 30 years that worked but stopped working. I’d call that trying. It’s difficult enough as it is and I was just relaying my personal experience with Trintellex. I’ll just keep my mouth shut from now on. It’s not worth being attacked as I was with another user.
