What percentage of depression and anxiety patients either do not respond to meds or cannot tolerate meds?

Question

If anyone who answers can site sources (studies, legit sources) it would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Get answers from reliable sources, sources with reputations at stake.

Ask yourself why do you need to know this information ?

If it's needed for a serious problem or even a paper your writing you need to do more research. Check with pharmaceutical companies and even national sites that give support to people with depression or anxiety

Answer 2

For starters I did not respond for over 8 years to anything. I tried different combinations, doses, doctors and so on. I heard about Cymbalta and how it helps 2% of the 20% of people who do not respond to other anti- depressants.
It still went downhill from there even though it was better than the others. Anxiety went way up.
Last year I tested 9 out of 10 bands positive for late stage advanced Lyme. So once I finish this treatment
we will see how much better I am. Can't wait!
Point is other diseases could be underlying causes of depression and anxiety...I didn't respond because every organ in my body was under attack.Central nervous system, brain... Be Lyme Aware..Don't be fooled looks can be decieving..I look good.

Answer 3

I've tried 4. no help. I recieved a new problem for almost every one of them. RLS, rage, twitching feet that my gf hates. She has actually jumped on them one night when I was asleep.
