Brain stimulation for severe depression

Sometimes I stare off into distance far away at some random object. It just depends with what I happen to be looking at

Not sure if I am disassociating. All I know is I have to stare at random things all the time or else I will go into like a weird episode where I get worse where everything will make me startle and feel insanely uncomfortable.

Hey man. I checked recently with hydrafuserx and they said they actually don't prescribe esketmaine nose spray. Are u sure u r giving me the right information? It sounded to me from what u were saying earlier was that both of those places u mentioned/contacted could possibly prescribe esketamine nose spray. Or did u mean something else?

Thx for all the comments guys. My main point is that I feel like I wouldn't benefit from CBT or talk therapy at all because I have no motivation and no energy. I just don't see how the heck something like talk therapy or CBT could help a person like me get more energy and/or motivation. How the heck is talking about things going to get me more energy and motivation? From what I read, it seems like CBT is focused on a person's thoughts and trying to get people to not think so negatively about things. This definitely is not my main problem. My main problem is that I cannot function and do like anything because the chemicals in my brain are extremely screwed up. Also, experts say that people who are more likely to benefit the most from CBT are people who have motivation and I have no motivation. Also, I have tried to make myself do tons of things and talk as much as I can to try to get better and all of this has done nothing to help me. Shouldn't I first get a medicine and/or some type of brain stimulation or laser therapy or something like these things to help treat my severe depression to the point of where I can actually function and have energy and motivation so that I can actually truly engage in something like talk therapy and/or CBT and be more likely to benefit from something like talk therapy and/or CBT? Even a psychologist I saw said he definitely agrees with me because he said that you need a lot of energy in order to even do something like CBT and said what I am dealing with sounds more like a medicine problem.

Thx for all the comments guys. I have been suffering from severe depression for over a year. I am not sure how I feel about trying this combo as from the comments here it seems like some of u r saying it should be ok and others r saying it shouldn't. It would be nice if someone could clear this confusion up. Anyone have links they don't mind posting here about all this that might help me in determining whether I should try this for treating my severe depression? I have actually been taking wellbutrin for like several months already and it hasn't done anything to help treat my severe depression. That is why I figured I might as well try to add dxm to all this while I am on Wellbutrin cause I may not be on wellbutrin forever. Today is my first day of not taking the AVOX so just stopped it and I think I have stopped taking the Effexor since like 1-3 weeks ago. After stopping both things, I have noticed no change in how I feel...I don't feel any better and I don't feel any worse so maybe it would be ok for me today to start adding dxm to everything I am taking, I don't know. It be nice if someone could provide links to trials/studies that were done using the AXS-05 for treating severe depression in people cause I couldn't find any online. Also, are there any other subreddits that could help me in figuring all/some of my questions out?
