> Moral of the story: you shouldn't have to produce an argument to support a meds' efficacy--if it works, there shouldn't be much ambiguity about that. If you've been on it for several months and you feel awful, it probably is doing more harm than good. You shouldn't have to live with the misery to achieve some potential good, which sounds like its getting smothered by the bad right now.

I think you just described the state of modern pschopharmacology there. I think most people taking these meds are exchanging a certain amount of physical comfort, for the chance to feel better mentally. For some this trade-off may be almost imperceptible, for others, it is almost too much to bear.
