There are sufficient numbers of cases for which it takes as much as 2-3 months to obtain adequate results to drug treatment so as to warrant continuation beyond 4 weeks. Of course, this makes that much more critical the choices of which drugs and drug combinations to invest so much time in. This is why I am trying as much as possible to defer to experts these decisions. I'm paying them for a reason, and it isn't for me to teach them how to treat me. I think I am fortunate to have found someone competent to direct my treatment.

Scott:
I didn't mean to imply that you don't give drugs adequate trial times. It's just that, these days for me, coming off of a drug and switching to another one has become an extremely harrowing and nasty experience. When you had mentioned all those APs and your take on them, I was suprised that you could have tried all of them already. Then again, I don't know when you started.
Please take your time on getting back to me on that long post.
I have a dumb question to ask. How do you post a message without having the other person's message on your post? You seem to be able to do it, but I don't know how.
Bob
