Neuropsychology and the knowledge of how psychoactive drugs work, and the many complexities of how/at what dose/who they help is pretty primitive and subject to controvery, and confusion.
I think at this stage in its development, when information is fragmentary, often divergent and not scientifically certain, we benefit greatly from input from those of us who have had good advice, from various sources, and our own experience.
I came to this site because there was so much information out there, which I had noway of analyzing. Plus, my pdoc has only a small amount of time, and I only a chance to bring up and puruse a small number of my questions, esp. as my questions evolved the more I learned, and thought about what I learned.
Plus there's so much I couldn't possibly have known, without reading the many contributions and thoughts by others similarly situated here who have had drug trials, of many kinds, whose results they reported.
If everything were subject to being authorized by Bob, or valid according to his particular point of view or information-- esp. when he may not be specifically a practicing psychopharmacologist-- we would lose a very valuable resource.
Bob does say that you have to use your judgment in reading here.
For me, the loss to many people looks very great if we restricted what it was possible to post here, or required that it be certified by any one person.
