I don't know the answer to your question, but I sure hope they provide long-term relief!I know for certain many of the "other" agents such a ssri's snri's etc. have failed for me so I guess it's worth a shot...for me anyway.
My longest stint of remission was approximately 8 years via clomipramine / clonazepam.
One may fail terribly with DA agonists and do quite well with lamictal, and perhaps vice versa.
Seems the atypicals are prescribed more off-label these days so maybe more time is needed in order to truly rate their effectiveness?
