> I used to do that, try to tell if there was some microscopic improvement that maybe I wasn't noticing. The first time a med did anything positive for me I realized I had been wasting my time, when something works you will know it. That's my opinion anyway, others may disagree. I'm glad you have found something that actually helps.

Thanks, I am too... but it still needs some tweaking, and I still definitely need something for depression. As much as they say lithium has antidepressant properties, I still feel quite horribly depressed, just not as agitated and flipped out anymore (for the most part).

Anyways, I think it was/is just sheer desperation that makes me do that with drugs, look for the microscopic improvement. Sometimes it seems like something is helping, but then I'm just not so sure. And I think that you might be right-- if something is helping so minimally or inconsistently that you barely notice it and aren't even sure if it's from the drug, maybe it isn't worth it to bother anymore. I just never want to give up on a drug if there's any hope that it might be helping.
