Hi Barbara Cat,
I'm glad someone took me up on my invitation to discuss this. I suspect that, contrary to Kramer's Listening to Prozac, that you can't always diagnose based on SSRI response because SSRI's have properties that just about anyone would respond to. So I'm not actually convinced that high dose SSRI's get to the root of the problem, just change the superficial presentation. This is particularly true in "disorders" that have a large behavioral component, such as BPD and OCD. The assumption is that if the behavior is changing, the SSRI must be a "cure".
If you don't mind my asking, what were you diagnosed with and what do you actually think your diagnosis is?
Dinah
