> Third, all those "stable" people out there? Don't bet your life on it. I know, right now, just in my workplace, and just on my floor, 4 people on various ADs. They've each been on the same ADs for years (2 get them from their GPs because they are afraid of the stigma of seeing a pdoc), and guess what? They are about as stable as spinning tops, but they won't do anything about it because they don't recognize their problems. They just pop the same ineffective pills and take days off to "decompress" because obviously work's so bad that even their ADs can't compensate. Never occurs to them that they need to go back to work on different or stronger meds.
>I think you are right about the "stable" people not really being all that stable. I am sure that there are a great many people out there who are suffering, because they are either too afraid to complain about their meds, or they don't know how much better life could be if they made some improvements to their regimen.
