> Well, for somebody who has been miraculously and gloriously affected by the workings of these drugs, it doesn't seem like you have had any form of sustained efficacy from any one drug. You're periodically talking about how things aren't working for you the way they once did, and how your brain has adapted to the effects of many of the medications you take. It just seems to me that when you feel good, you start to jump into this "idealization mode" where you seem to overassert the efficacy of these meds and the extent to which modern psychiatry can help any one individual. When you're not feeling so hot, it seems that you start to doubt the overall utility of many of these meds and talk in (what appears to me) to be a more grounded mannor about the benifits and drawbacks of meds. On the one hand you unequivically and liberally advocate the use of the genotoxic TCA's and on the other you write posts that makes me think you are concerned about the possable genetic dammage that you yourself may have sustained.

> You don't often tell people about the psychotic/ manic reaction you had to drugs like nortyptaline in the past. Wonder drugs don't make people manic and/or psychotic. Yet, I don't think you consider yourself bipolar as you are not taking maintainance doses of any mood stabilizer. As such, I don't know how you could be convinved about your diagnosis and subsequently I don't know how you could be so convinved that you really are being treated optimally.

> Everybody's got a story to tell and nobody who frequents this board is perfectly well IMHO. Perhaps you think that if you can convince others that medications work, you can convince yourself?I am fascinated that you are so focused on my condition. I would have preferred that you get the story right, though.
