Hi, Lamdage.

Please excuse my misunderstanding of your words.

"The bottom line from my 5 years on PB is that medication is pretty much utterly useless."

I am left confused by this.

Are you saying that you feel fine, but that it is your judgement on behalf of others that medical treatment will not help them?

You say that without taking Effexor, you would be suicidal. I would not call that "utterly useless".

I am not frustrated and angry. I am just a little disappointed that you can't find anything to make you feel more the way you would like. I get the impression that your overall health would be enhanced by psychotherapy. I could be wrong. Personally, I have profited from an eclectic approach that included CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and IPT (interpersonal therapy). If you have already tried psychotherapy, but only during a time when your illness was at its worst, it might be worth trying again now that you are feeling better and more able to process thoughts and emotions.
