Your posts are hoerrendously wrong.You say you are on a medication which helps you,Okay well how would you take to someone telling you that you are wrong for being on a medication period,that NO DRUG is needed and instead of a popping a pill instead drink more water,eat a better diet.
You would not agree with that would you,and why,well because you know how you feel,and obviously the other person doesent,the other person is just being influenced by there own mood to judge you.
Well in that same manner how can you say it is counter productive for anyone to be on here,so it is not possable that unlike yourself there are people out there who achieve zero benifit from the current drugs,in fact from ssris like myself feel worse,should they not expect the same results as you do,maybe instead of feeling that way towards people who are searching for the "perfect med" you should instead feel LUCKY you are a responder so early on.I am in no way looking for the perfect med,and your comment is very general,i wanna to make sure in that case that you understand just because i search this group or go through trials with different drugs does not mean im looking for the "perfect pill" i am far from a perfect pill.
Being on medication and knowing how REAL the agony of not having control of your own thoughts and being victim to clinical depression im SHOCKED you can say such a comment concerning others who are searching for reliaf.
If i found an effective pill tommorrow,i would not feel like everyone should switch to the one im taking,or that everyone else still searching to no avail are just looking for a cure all people.
No id think wow i should feel very lucky,and i hope those poor people can find some relieaf and find some effective med or combination.
I am willing to bet the fram that the over whelming majority of people here would be joyous to find a drug that even allowed that some reliaf with consistency.
Finaly i dont know where opted you to say the drugs are all the same,yess the ssri class of drugs do primarly work the same,HOWEVER the tca,maoi,and off label drugs which are used in high degree DO NOT work in any way simliar ,AT ALL.
I also dont think knowing the method of action,the chemistry and everything u can about a different drug or class of them is not being too technical,in fact its to cut back on the long process of switching meds......you learn and understand how a single drug works,and you can can a good idea of how one in a similiar class would more likly act.I for example did TERRABLE on ssris,but being younger i listeneded and obeyed my doc when i was switched from one ssri to another,when now its sensable to me after two the most i should have simply gave up on ssris.
I responded to parnate an maoi,and then at another point i repsonded to deprenyl an maoi,see where im going?
