I will agree from my own experience that meds, in the right cocktail will work... the issue is how long? then what, after they don't work. It becomes pharmaceutical roulette, I tried this and that for several months before I decided, "this is good enough to remain stable". Stable doesn't help me in job interviews, or life in general, barely able to crack a smile and stuttering to top it off. If I could pop a dexedrine and a xanax before a normally awkward situation then its money baby, but sh*t I can't take these drugs because I've already proven to my pdoc that with these powerful substances I end up psychotic and/or agoraphobic. So then it becomes management using Antipsychotics, total zombification... get out your giant roll of ace bandages, wrap me up, and bury me in egypt. I'm sorry to play devil's avodocate, or simply the devil ;-) There is alot of misinformation out there, from both sides, and relapse to original, or worse, condition seems plausible. there is just so many unknown variables, that its hard to tell someone it is or isn't the meds that f##ked you up. give this guy a break!
