One man's poison is another man's nectar. Body chemistries are uniquely complex.

- Many researchers believe that long-term use of antidepressants (not mood stabilizers) are actually inducing cycling and making the course of illess worse for some people (probably what has happened to me).

- There are many happy stories of how mood drugs have helped and/or are continuing to help people and probably even save lives from suicide. Unfortunately, sometimes they stop working for them.

- For some people it may be a matter of being tenacious and trying the right drug, the right combo, or trying it long enough. (although it seems like the experience of a drug suddently kicking in after 6 weeks is rare).

- For some people, there is not a drug that has been developed that will work for them no matter how tenacious and enduring they are. (this may soon be me)

My opinion is that overall mood drugs are having a much greater positive effect than negative. The people posting here I assume are the ones that are struggling to find relief, myself included. I have had nightmare experiences from some of the drugs I have tried, but I am still glad they exist to help other people.
