Anything? I think I need another trip on the medication merry-go-round. I've been off psych meds since 2009. I was getting a boost from an unconventional hormone treatment (timed release T3 hormone), but I can't cope with the alt-med thing anymore. There's just no long-term safety data on it, my blood levels with the treatment make normal docs freak out, and I'm tired of the alterna-doc pushing a whole boatload of additional unproven treatments on me every time I visit. I hoped the whole thing was placebo effect, but now that I'm tapering off it, I'm regressing. If I'm not going to do this route, I need something else.
I so hope there's something I haven't already tried and found to be either (a) ineffective or (b) somewhat effective but intolerable side effects over the long term. But I doubt it.
