Depression that won't go away

2017-12-19 17:58:45
I have been feeling very depressed since the beginning of September, and I am already on maximum dosage venlefaxine and 300mg pregablin. Would I qualify for ect as I feel it's not getting better with the increase in venlefaxine... I've gone up 75mg to 375mg in total,nearly 2 weeks ago and I'm not feeling much better.
