Hello, linkage,
I have read many of your posts, and I am in full agreement with what you say about the currently available medicines. Frankly, I wish I could turn the clock back to the day before I took my first antidepressant. I wish I had never taken any psychotropic drugs. I know they help some people, but the ones that are available right now are not right for me. I have an inoperable medical condition that contributes to my depression, and I've never yet found a physician who has been able to see "the big picture" or understand how each body system affects the others. I wish I could find a doctor or doctors who, even if they don't have the answer to my dilemma, would at least care enough to try to help me. In spite of my distress and enormous frustation, I still hope that someday someone will help me and that the right medicine will be available. I wish that you would have that hope, too. In spite of your subjective feelings about yourself, you are remarkably effective here on Psychobabble. You help many of us, and you are very thoughtful and intelligent. Please try to keep that in mind.
