I read your story, and I can't help but think of the first time I took a psych med. The first several were prescribed by a neurologist to try to stem severe migraine headaches. None of them worked.
Then there was the time I really needed them. The time that I was severely depressed and for months on end could think about nothing but death and how I longed for it. ADs and a good pdoc are the only thing that pulled me though. But that was long before ads promising the patient a better life if they just swallow a certain pill.
I tend to think of drug ads the same way I do ads for wrinkle cream. They both might puff you up a little bit, but the results aren't lasting.
