>How much help do you think we can expect?
Not much, but some.
It is sometimes said that people who leave here have had success with meds. It is a comforting assumption. It might also be the case that people just become resigned to their fates.
Like my psych said about ECT.....it certainly cuts down on the complaints.Rage? Hmmm. If someone asked me for a pharmacological treatment for rage, I'd wonder whether pot would help.
Since the rage was precipitated by pot (or the absence/withdrawal of it) I wonder if there could be a connection as you suggest.On the Alternative Board some time back someone wrote about smoking pot for years at a high dose without great or obvious ill effect and then stopping.
This precipitated something like a bipolar state.
Does that make sense to you?
In which case, could mood stabilisers help?
I don't know anything about those drugs.
