> 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.
No I totally get it, I hope my post didn't come across as judgmental, that's not really the word I'm looking for. You have a good point about not giving up on a med too soon, I've been med hopping the last 6 months or so. I'm sure I didn't give some of them a fair trial. It's just that I've stayed on drugs that didn't work for fairly long periods. It seems like my life is wasting away, there's such a thing as being too patient I think. Maybe I've swung too far the other way, I have a hard time finding balance sometimes.
I still believe that like they say, the answers are out there.
