Agreed, this new generation of high dollar mood stabilizers(mostly anti-convulsants) seem to be helping some people. And we have all tried so many drugs that didn't work we are desperate to jump at the next generation of drugs. And the pdocs are at their wits end to help us.
Not to mention the increased market share for the drug manufacturers by using them off label, the money the reps make and god knows what perks the docs get for prescribing them.
But what about all the new miricle drugs that were developed in the 90's. If they were such miricle drugs, then why are we all jumping on this new batch of miricle drugs in the loop now? If the new miricle drugs in the 90's worked so well, we wouldn't be jumping on this new round of drugs. I wonder if I want to be a monkey for this generation of new drugs. What is going to happen in the next one, two, five years with them?
I guess that if I didn't have the stability I found with xanax, I would be looking for anything that would help alleviate my suffering too, no matter how long it worked.
