Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I am one of the InHouse Physician and I request you to send the name of the hormone extract you were using, and if possible also its constituents.
That will help the specialist .

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
I have also gone through the website that you have mentioned and would like to let yo know that there are plenty of similar products online which use animal tissues but the chances of getting a CJD from them is very very unlikely. Your doctor seems to be right and it could be a depression. Many times depression will not respond to a single drug and may require a switch or an augmentation.
There are various effective therapies for depression like fluoxetine, venlafaxine, bupropion, mirtazapine or escitalopram and they are all very effective and mostly safe. You may also require some benzodiazepines like clonazepam or lorazepam for a short period like 2-3 weeks to reduce the anxiety and help with your sleep.
You may use one of them or a combination of them to get your depression treated.
Hope this helps,
In case if you have any further query, do let me know.
Kind regards

I feel like its seriously given me brain damage as im getting worse each day like it was toxic substance . 2 years and still unwell. Anti depressants havnt helped . I dont know what to do ? Seem like ill never get better
Hello
Depression does take time some time to get better. Its not very unusual. Further the contents that you have mentioned are not known to cause any toxic damage to the brain. If you still have a doubt, then you may request and get a MRI scan of the brain done. Major damages can be ruled out this way.
If some antidepressant have not worked for you then it may require a change of anti-depressant.
Do meet your doctor and get your anti-depressant switched.
Regards.

Hello
Yes Vit D deficiency can lead to the mentioned symptoms but can be easily corrected. You may go ahead with the other options of antidepressants.
