> what is his reasoning to conclude that you can never have complete remission? .... or is it just that he feels it's better to have okay short term gains than really good long term gains
Sorry, I'm new to this, I included your response with the following one, in that posting I said that, "I wonder, and this is highly speculative, but I think that because my situation was so acute, I wonder if he just basically wants a break from the instability, before he tries other agents. On the other hand, it could very well be he doesn't believe I can acheive full remission, and I'm best to accept this, and try and manage the best I can.
However, I still have the memory of the four months in my mind, when my medications where working well, and life was terrific, and can't persuade myself to accept that this is "as good as it gets"
The fact is, that I have tried many agents and they have been unsuccessful - but I've never tried MAOI's - and ironically I've never given clomipramine a fair trial."
Thank you so much for showing interest in my case, your input is so much appreciated I look forward to any future response
