Hi,
I understand your passion about this, as some people are quite treatment resistant. As for me (and probably some others on this board) while finding the "right" medication(s) was very painful and often discouraging, I have found a combination of meds that seems to work for me. I also have been in therapy, hoping that "getting to the root of things" would eliminate the need for meds. But since being on meds, I've had the stability to finally face issues in my life and actually work through them.
I do massage therapy and work with holistic doctors, acupuncurists and others who often challenge my choice to take drugs rather than take a holistic or a cognitive therapy approach. All I know is that when I wasn't on them, I wanted to kill myself. Now that I take meds, I have a life.
Remember that not everyone will have your experience. Most people on this board need encouragement to stick it out and to continue to try different drugs until they find what works for them.
Good luck.
Sarah
