Although this may be a radical statement, I wonder if psychiatric drugs make some of us worse off in the long run than we would have been if we had not taken them in the first place and sought out psychotherapy instead.

Benzodiazepines have been beneficial throughout the years, but my limited experience with antidepressants, especially long term Stablon use, makes me think that it could make things worse?

It just seems there is no "cure", despite all the hype in the 1980s about antidepressants "curing" depression if taken for 6 months.


diazepam (Valium) 5mg QID
tianeptine (Stablon) 12.5mg TID
Light therapy 3 hours/day
GNC Ultra Mega Gold vitamin supplement, BID

Dx: panic disorder, MDD (unipolar, melancholia), perfectionist
