depression affected by dysautonomia?

i have posted several times and appreciate the info you have provided. i posted about "double depression" and the lack of results of medication thus far. well i saw my primary care dr today for followup of cardiac symptoms. he "thinks" i have dysautonomia. i have found info to lead me to believe that it may also be responsible for my inability to eat, and subsequent major loss of weight. i also believe that it is a major factor in the depression since i had the dysautonomia before the depression . my question is... can dysautonomia cause depression? will it effect treatment options (would one drug be more effective or a specific type of drug bring about faster relief of the symptoms? i'm having a hard time with this because the doc didn't say anything for over a year, and just let me slide in the meantime. i go to the phych tomorrow and i want any information i can get so i'll know what questions to ask. ihave to have some relief from the depression soon, and the course we're on (remeron 45MG) is not working. any info you can offer? as always, thanks in advance! and please hold a good thought for me.
