Just one more comment. I've been told by others that the internet is not a great place to go for any disease process my internist says he uses med md. Feels it's accurate. I spent a month in the hospital when lymes was first discovered on pic line antibiotics and this was in a psych ward as my pdoc had sent me when you could be admitted for a med adjustment. The docs tried med after med and none even offered some sort of remission. From being able to tolerate high doses of luvox I could only tolerate 12.5mg of luvox and .25mg of paxil in combo with a lot of benzos. Rheumatologists and infection control docs were consults and they decided the aftermath of lymes which I have no idea when contracted as none of the classic symptoms and also a mish mash to use the docs words of autoimmune diseases. The prominent one is thyroid autoimmune type and as he said and this was about l0 years ago unless it was correct nothing would help me anxiety wise. Now my second husband was downsized from a very important job and given a years salary to find another job and when I suggesed meds he said nothing will fix me except another job and after divorce he got one and is back in Europe. As for neighbors sometimes situations in their lives create the need for a short term course of a med. I do believe in this case a first med will work until the person gets back on their feet and deals with whatever the problem is. Oh I know mine age and no work as too many extraneous medical conditions. But seriously I thought this board was for medications? Ive heard it referred to as for those with treatment resistant depression .My feeling is this board should be for all medication issues. Maybe neurotransmitters should be that board and non-complex issues should be meds. Just a suggestion. Debating is great as you learn a lot and if you stop learning your brain can not continue to grow. This is my opinion only. Yes a lot of relatives and neighbors no longer need meds. They have solved or come to terms with their problems. Perhaps they never needed meds but talk theraphy? I don't know. Speculation on my part. Thanks for letting me contribute Phillipa and it's time to start my work for the day up late and bed late.And for whatever reason a lot of my family are on benzos and will also be for life not all the same ones.And when life is going well they are not needed either. Been that way for me for over 37 some odd years.
