I thought the way you did about 8 years ago. I thought we had the answers to our problems with medications. I thought we would abolish psychological suffering with medications.
I had a similar paradigm shift, where I saw everything in terms of a biochemical problem.
But after all this time, I am nowhere closer to being the person I want to be. The medications offered a brief glimpse of what the brain could be, but ultimately pooped out.
There are a lot of people here for whom antidepressants, stimulants etc, have pooped out.
I am personally not puting my hopes in medications, the brain is too strong. The more I have taken them, the more I have come to believe that the brain will eventually adapt to the pharachological effect of almost all meds.
Only time will tell if medications will continue to be, for you, all that you want.
