> medications alters personality, and definatelly not restore it

I do feel that's a complete generalization, Jeroen.

For many, on SSRIs, your personality really isn't changed. In fact, people who decide to come off of them because they feel they are ineffective discover that they were better on them.

Even though there is blunting from APs, which I will not deny changes one's affect somewhat, simply because it is actually a partially intended part of APs -- to calm someone. It just may do it a bit too much appear to blur life.

But for people with severe bipolar disorder with psychotic manifestations, say, they can be a restorative, and give people -back- their personality and vibrancy that has been obscured by psychosis.

The same can be said for some people with schizophrenia.

Anyhow, FWIW.
