My apologies Andre. I didn't mean any harm. I am excited about Adrafinil because it has worked so well and so many other things didn't. Perhaps I could have used a little more discretion in containing my enthusiasm. I would just like to see Thomas feel better.
Part of the situation I think is that I do have a problem with general comments in psychiatry. It's just my opinion and just my experience only, but I feel all the general comments floating around that are taken for granted or taken as fact are actually major contributors to patients' continued suffering. We seem to assume too many general comments as fact. What we generally accept as truth in psychiatry has failed me time and again and again. So now I tend to dissect sweeping generalities in detail. It's the details that are important to me, because that's where the fastest healing occurs. And that's my goal...complete recovery as fast as possible. Generally accepted opinions in psychiatry often get in the way of that happening.
And no I don't like to type. :-) My long posts make it seem like I do. But I do like to propose different angles of looking at things. I find that difficult to do in short generalized sentences. If someone had done that with me, I would have reached recovery a long time ago. It really is all those generally accepted principles of psychiatry that slowed down my whole recovery process and sent me off in the wrong direction for so long.
