It's too bad that modern medicine hasn't improved much upon the 40/50 year old psych meds. There exceptions of course, but some of the most useful drugs are also the least prescribed. They've made many psych meds safer but in the process they've also made them less effective unfortunately. And since they are off patent they are no longer promoted sadly enough.Brian
