The idea that this board is entirely unrepresentative of the AD taking population is simply an assertion that is interesting.
And logical. To draw any conclusions about how a med effects the general population you need a randomized sample. Voluntary and random do not go together very well. This board draws people who do not do well on meds. It also has a history of, for some reason, pushing away many very knowlagable people. Lar and Cam were pushed away.
People are motivated to seek out info when things do not go well. Why should someone who does well on meds come to a place that is very negative
about meds ? Some other lists I am on have a nice mix of those doing well and those not doing so well.
