Works for me. I don't visit the med board much anymore. It all gets too technical and too much negativity - not that the negativity may not be called for, but it gets wearisome.Then again, I haven't had an extended bout of depression in a while. I still have extreme acute bouts, but I pop some haldol and ativan, sleep for 36 hours, and usually wake up feeling more in control. So I'm not still on the med merry-go-round, trying to find a way to feel well. For me, therapy and support groups are invaluable. Also the help and kindness I find on this board.
