As with most anything else with this disease, our situation/testing results usually change over time anyway. It's been 5 yrs since the testing, so if I felt the assessment wasn't right, or that having a different assessment might change my treatment (prognosis, work situation, or whatever), then I would just have another assessment.

I wouldn't take it too personally that he is blaming some your sx on depression, as they seem to do this a lot with MS, and antidepressants can help with very REAL symptoms. I was tested for depression back in 2003 or so, and tested "not clinically depressed". Those results are based strictly on the answers we provide to their questions, and then we either fit or don't fit into a category. (My new neuro tests me with a 5-page "a, b, c, or d" questionairre every annual visit actually.)

I wasn't clinically depressed back then (or ever), but my original neuro still suggested the level of fatigue I had could be because of depression. Guess they don't even trust their own tests . . . He suggested Celexa (I had been using it p/t anyway, for PMS), so I thought I'd give it a try f/t. It didn't help at all with the fatigue (in fact made it worse), BUT it helped a fair bit with the spasticity pain. I have since gone off Celexa, my fatigue is better, and the LDN is keeping the spasticity mostly in check.

Aren't you still on an antidepressant? If so, why would they be blaming depression for sx?
