Im not denying the fact that they help,i myself cant function without them.But there is not much scienace involved at a docs office when they are given,its usualy whatever med that particular doc is either most familiar with,or just a shot in the dark.
Upon prescription,there is no testing of anything,i cant speak for all but most p docs dont ask about diets,or possable allergys etc,they are not prescribing a certain med on a certain basis,its just theory.
I believe the drugs are tape,but tape is never a bad thing,tape allows me to live a functional life.I understand ur points though its a very complex issue all togther.
> > I think first thing is we need to stop calling it medication......and putting a happy face on it,they are drugs,,medication has some science to it and normaly is treating something,making it better,what we take is based on nothing more than what is looking like more and more of a theory based on dollers.

I think many a psychopharmacologist would challenge your statement that their is little to no science behind treating psychiatric disorders. You can't generalize from a mainly treatment resistant forum and a negative medication experience thread to the general population. If medication is working great for people one would think they would have less inclination to go searching for answers on the internet. :)
