> Thanks Morgan. but I really wasn't mocking Lou. I had come across the video while looking for stuff on bipolar meds and I really like the video because of her description of what it is like to have bipolar and her (and her pdocs) approach to poly pharmacy. I wanted a discussion on the merits of poly pharmacy.
My perspective on "polypharmacy" is that you do what it takes. What's the difference if the necessary therapeutic mechanisms are contained in two different drugs or in the same drug? I am very cautious whenever a "school of thought" (avoidance of polypharmacy) takes precedence over the scientific investigation to substantiate it.
