Db,
I agree and I just left my pdoc's this morning we are basically out of options as far as meds to try. We have definitely put mental health issues at the bottom of the priority list as far as research and new effective tolerable drugs seem ions away. Look at the cardiac side of the medical business they have come up with wonderfull drugs for hypertension and cholesterol that have very few side effects and seem to get the job done. Mentally ill people are not only more expendable according to society and the medical field but their suffering and conditions seem to take on a last priority status. So touchee I agree with your outlook my cynicism grows with each visit to the pdocs. The amazing thing from reading these boards is so many of us myself included keep hoping and trying different meds with childlike trust in the established medical profession only to be let down once more by some half effective product with side effects worse than the symptomolgy itself.thanks,
Gil
