Look, I dont mean to be putting you down. You are knowledgeable for sure. But, how come you paint people in such a dark corner when it comes to meds? For example, Epival. It has helped me *tremendously* speciously in those high-flying times before atypical antipsychotics. I understand the new sustained released (over 24 hours I think) version is supposed to be even better in a number of ways. But that was an *excellent* med for me, and if I didnt have the atypicals, or if the atypicals failed me, I would go on it and a combo of something like topamax. You also pick on Prozacwhich has saved my life, really, after Effexor w/out a mood stabilizer caused my bp 2 symptoms to go way out of control. Coming up on 40, I have some hormone irregularities, and am getting excellent treatment from my endo. We may like have a solution in a week or two.
So, for this BP2er, Prozac and atypicals plus a bit of mood stabilizer work very well in controlling my symptoms over 8 years now. I have had my rough patches, heck we all do, but we adjust what needs, and move on. Why can you not admit meds do quite a bit of good for a fair number of people? What, am I some freak or something? Sure the meds are far from perfect. But, you gotta remember Churchills speechWe will NEVER surrender..!!. And boy, was he a man who knew depression and anxiety!Anyhowjust IMHO
