Please, please do not consider taking what anyone else has taken. You didn’t respond to an SSRI, which is from the “most prescribed” class of psych meds. You need someone to help you! Can you reach out to John’s Hopkins? My fave has been mt Sinai in ny.
I don’t know what your situ is, but please. If you $$$ can you need to see a private psychiatrist. He needs to get you help. You must see a nutritionist! They need to help you. Take the long Covid down to its parts: weight and depression, and treat those first.
If you have a child/neice/ good friend— hav them help you find someone. This is your very life we are talking about! No expense is too much. See a private psychiatrist, get a recommendation for someone good. Then go! Please. Try to find a nutritionist that works in or with a functional medicne doctor. Functional Med doctors look at things from a different perspective. Please do not give up! I’ve had this since 3/20, and I DO know how awful it can be and how hopeless it can seem!!

I did see a private psychiatrist and she is the one who gave me Zoloft and previously Escitalopram.

I would call John Hopkins, but I wouldn't know where to begin, who to call, what number and at this point I'm really losing strength and the will. I've completely exhausted myself, both physically and mentally and I continued to worsen with each and every passing month the last 3 yrs. Last week, burning tongue syndrome set in, it was unbearable and as I type, I have so much pain in my body to include nerve pain I can't stop crying.

All I can do is pray at this point. I wish I had a friend who had a private plane to take me wherever I need to be for care. I have excellent insurance and can go anywhere. . . problem is where? It sounds like you're doing better and I'm so happy for you. I wish I could be there.

What's really hard is I love life so much and was so darn healthy and active before Covid robbed me of my life.
