hi yesac,

> I don't know if I've mentioned it to you, but I did study neuroscience in college, so I have a bit of knowledge about the way things work/don't work. Not to say that I'm an expert or anything - far from it! But with that, and also learning so much from the med board and google searches, and talking to my psychiatrist, I really think that I understand a lot about medications. In any case - it doesn't really matter because understanding ABOUT medications has nothing to do with knowing if any particular thing will work for any particular person. It's all just so very preliminary really - we've barely even hit the frontier of brain knowledge, and they really don't know what mental illnesses are about, let alone what/how to "fix" them. It's just hit-or-miss, all a big game with no proven strategy to work with.

well, as one who has only the barest grasp of the pharmocological mechanisms involved with our meds, i think it would be a wonderful avantage to have a deeper theoretical background to use to assess these drugs and their effectiveness ... ... it has got to be a better guide for choosing a treatment than just ... ... ... guessing ... anyway?

especially when combined with dicussing this with your doctor ...

... out on the meds board there are some striking success stories, but they seem like most are from recovering OCDers, who, of course are going to post more than others ... ... but they will tell us about their "cures" ... won't they ?

whereas, i don't see a lot of folks poatinf about their solution to depression so much ...
... and we may guess that their solutions are nearly as individual as they are ... ... except a lot of them must be using the same meds.

and you should be better for the technical guidance we get from Larry Hoover and JrBecker.

have you tried any of the nutritional suggestions they have offered?

have you read any of "Mind Boosters", which is online at http://www.mind-boosters.com/
in its entirey?

take care!
~ jim
