Gotta agree with you in regard to the Serzone. You know your inner-workings better than anyone else. I do take Serzone, but in combo with other meds, all of which present no magic panacea. I may have more emotional control, but I still process the same, my mind still wraps around things and bends them into ugly designs. The meds don't take me away from me, though I often wish they would. Sometimes, the meds do worse than taking me away, they silence me, they poison me, and make me feel powerless.
There are chemicals that will create more problems than they solve, and there are chemicals that will numb you, aggravate, sicken, and enhance. There are therapists who will listen, will advise with wisdom, will support your attempts to go the path without meds. There are P-docs who will patronize, ignore, silence, impose, intimidate, and listen, whether on the phone or in the office, will respect your decisions and concerns.
But... Just as there are egotistical, nasty people all over this globe we call Earth, so will you find them practising medicine, handing out political flyers, and delivering your mail. To be angry is to say "I don't like this situation, and I want it to change!" More power to you!!!
