in total agreement here, there doesn't seem to be a "middle" ground, and the pysch docs and "judgemental junkies are one and the same at times!! i think you are right,med_empowered, it all depends on the person and the circumstances!!
klonopin works wonders for me, prozac doesn't, or i should say hasn't done anything lately for my depression, when in the past, drinking was like a miracle solution!! my brother smokes pot twice a week, just to help him mellow out from his ocd, and i don't blame him a bit. he tryed effexor and actually had auditory hallucinations trying to discontinue 75 mgs., the highest he could tolerate!! i have read that a dopamine enhancing drug is now banned in europe, because the u.s. thought it a tad too good for people, it helped depression, and enhanced sexuality, so we are all being duped to some extent, only certain drugs are "good" for us, if we know what's good for us, i suppose. in actuality, if my ocd or depression became too devasting, i would try all means to alleviate my "pain" including drugs not sanctioned by our government!! but i will continue to try with traditional means for now, i.e. [exercise, diet and therapy, hmmm..and prozac or possibly a tca, until this becomes too hard to handle!! you made a great point, peace...john
