I guess in the last few years everyone on these meds have gotten more and more sophisticated about how these meds work, at times, the patients seem to know more than the docs. I haven't kept up with the technology so it looks like I will have to do my homework to understand the workings of all of the neurotransmittors, etc.
I think it will still be too complicated for me to understand all of the chemical interactions occuring in the brain and which drug affect which
symptoms. Between agonists, GABA, dopamine, 5HT1A (what the hell is that?)I feel totally baffled.Thanks for all who responded to my post. We are fortunate to have such intelligent and caring people amongst us.
