I guess I should have used the term "Miracle Drug Treatment". I certainly am experiencing a miracle of modern psychopharmacology. However, I must take 4 drugs for my miracle to happen.
Where would we be were we to be born 300 years ago? For me, nearly all of modern medicine is a miracle when considered in this context. I am very appreciative of man's modern medical inventions. Penicillin is a miracle drug, despite an increasingly treatment resistant population of microbes.
It is a matter of attitude. No scientist owes the rest of us anything. Why do so many of us place blame on scientists when they don't accomplish what we want them to? Anyone can find fault with the system. However, I almost never see on this forum a recognition of what is right about the system. I am very much in favor of improving the system. However, disparagement alone is not terribly constructive in my opinion.
Any treatment that brings me to remission is a miracle treatment for me.
My miracle drugs:
Parnate 80mg
nortriptyline 150mg
Lamictal 200mg
Abilify 20mg
