Included in my praise of God and psychotropics is their success in bring many other people into remission and the ability to achieve mental health and work towards happiness. However, it might be time for me to more vigorously pursue brain stumulation techniques, which include magnetic and direct current treatments. My brain is adept at reacting to positive drug responses with tachyphylaxis. Perhaps the combination of pharmacological and tissue stimulation would work for me.

Since I don't know the details of your symptomatology and treatment history, it is difficult to offer suggestions that might renew your hopes for treatment success. For every new drug that becomes available, a certain percentage of previously treatment-resistent people will go on to respond well to it. I'm waiting for cariprazine to become available. It works like Abilify, but is stronger at D3 receptors in the limbic system. I am hoping that this translates into a more robust antidpessant effect.

It is written above that psychotropic drugs helps the poster to shop for food and pay bills and to live independently and that others that take these drugs can be remitted from what they take the drugs for, assuming that they take the drugs for the hope of having depression and such remitted which according to the poster those people could achieve mental health and work toward happiness.. That could lead you to be deceived into thinking that you could take these drugs and not be harmed by them or that as a parent your child could not be harmed from taking these drugs. This is all because as to the drugs helping to shop for food and pay bills, it is not specified as to how taking these drugs allows the poster to pay bills or shop for food as to what that could mean. If you are led to believe that the drugs help the poster to work to make money to pay bills, that could be seriously misleading because the drugs can debilitate a person and addict the person so that in withdrawal, or in the state of akathisia one could not go to do their job to earn money to pay bills or even go to a store to buy food. In fact, the drugs could disable a person so that they could have to stop working and could not earn a living to support themselves and be dependent on others or charity or government assistance. The drugs could induce a life-ruining condition so that the taker could never work again or worse, induce suicidal thinking or homicidal thinking to kill themselves and/or others.
Let us know the whole truth. Let it be exposed that there could be a placebo effect when one takes these drugs that does not last. And there could be an initial effect that could cause the body to have an imbalance of chemicals that causes the body to react to the drug to worsen the person's depression and such and then addiction could set in which could lead to suicide in particular but not limited to young people. And there could be death by heart attack and liver disease and blood disease and kidney failure and stroke and a host of other life-ruining conditions including a life-time of suffering from tardive dyskinesia.
My friends, be not deceived. There are thousands of people each year that are killed by these drugs. What good could it do for you to swallow the propaganda from the drug companies that you see on television pandering drugs and by taking them you could end up dead or so debilitated as to that you think that you need a drug to go to the store to buy food. Is that happiness that you think comes from God?
