"No magic pill in sight?"
I beg to differ. The effect I experience from the meds I am on now is truly magical. There aren't too many other words which describe it as adequately. I went from being pathaologically shy, amotivated, dysthymic, self-loathing, drug craving, hopeless, anergic, etc. to outgoing, more or less motivated to improve myself, life-loving, self-loving, having no problems using substances responsibly, hopeful, brimming with energy, etc. No, it is not Nirvana, but these drugs have woken me from a 23-year NIGHTMARE. I feel blessed by God to have access to them, and now know that I must get my act together and contribute something magnificent and useful to humanity because I have been given this profound gift of AN ABILITY TO ENJOY LIFE AND FEEL GENUINELY HAPPY AND FULFILLED.
The relationship between my parents and I has progressed further in the month I've been on these meds than it has since I turned 14. The only side effect that causes me a problem is anorgasmia, which isn't even all the time. With the cabergoline, the libido is adequate. No weight gain, acceptable sleep, etc. I am one of the lucky ones, but I must say, these pills are the closet thing to magic I've ever experienced in healing.
