Actually, Gordon is now 3 months past the end of treatment. There have been some small improvements, but not enought to suit him! Of course, he also hasn't read anything about the whole process, so doesn't have a realistic view of what to expect.
From what I've heard, one has to try a few different anti-depressants before landing on one that works. Having a Dr. that won't budge is counter-productive and even harmful to the patient. Apparently there are newer drugs called SSNI's that have less side effects and work better (or so we've been told).
Thanks again for your suggestions and support,
Anne
