Yes, good point, a remission is nothing to turn one's nose up at.
The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that the answer to the remission/cover up symptoms question is probably varied and fuzzy. There's probably some of both, and of course, everyone's circumstances are a little different. After experiencing dramatic poop-outs for both prozac (extended to inefficacy of other SSRIs) and benzos, I'm not going to hold my breath- but will take what good opportunities I get. I have a doctor who won't make any promises about how long the therapeutic effects of drugs will last, and I'm finally heeding his urgings to work at therapy and making improvements in my lifestyle. Just no guarentees in life.
