"What is your definition of a Miracle Drug?"
Midnight Blue portrayed my definition quite succinctly: "One that works."
We all have our individual requirements of a treatment before we deem it a miracle. I can certainly understand your reluctance to call any current treatment for mental illness a miracle.
One thing that I have learned in this thread is that there are some pretty high standards to be placed on a drug before it can be called a miracle. Doubtless, my spiritual nature tends to have me look at nearly everything in Creation as being a miracle. Lots and lots of little things.
For over 25 years, I have been looking for a treatment that would bring me into remission; thereby ending the pain, misery, and lack of functionality. My miracle has occurred, and it comes in the form of 4 brown vials. I thank God every day for this miracle. My life stopped at age 17. I am now 48. How could I view my current successful response to treatment as anything short of a miracle? Side effects and special diets are minor nuisances to me.
