Well, if nothing else, you give a good example of what can go wrong with government sponsored health care systems. You lose freedoms. You lose choices. You lose quality. You lose health.
If your doctor won't prescribe what you want, can you doctor shop? Find another doctor who is more cooperative? More helpful? More concerned for your well being and not the well being of bureaucracy?
There is a whole world of herbs too. I've gotten really familiar with that over the past 20 years. Most of them are not as powerful as prescription meds but most of them actually deliver higher results.
Clinical trials demonstrate that when healthy people take psychiatric medications, they describe the feeling as "dysphoric". Somehow this dysphoric drug is supposed to cure depression? Umm, ok.
If nothing else, marijuana is a better option than many meds - for some people - and I think it is readily available in Canada? Personally I have seen major improvements and even total remissions with medical marijuana in various patients but not that often with SSRIs or APs.
I've had two docs tell me that Ritalin is the most useful medication of everything at their disposal. And I think it is under-utilized and over-criticized. They hand it out to children like candy but refuse it to adults. Ridiculous.
> Bleaberry where do you get all these off label drugs? I live in Toronto, Canada, I can't even convince my doctor to prescribe me xanax, ritalin, anything. Just ssris, and now that I'm desperate she gave me a prescription of abilify. Does anyone know a brave doctor in Toronto who's willing to take chances with my treatment?
