i am always guilty of getting my hopes too high in spite of numerous disappointing med trials. I so want to be "fixed". Realizing that I want perfection, I also realize that I will be disappointed because no med or anything else for that matter is going to make me perfect because no one is. And it is really a weird thing to want to be in the first place, who would want to be my friend then?? anyway, it is so awful to feel awful that I can't help but hope to never feel awful again and that is just not realistic. Even if a med is working perfectly so to speak, life isn't and biology is too complicated to expect that it could be held static at a point of bliss. That said, yes I am disappointed, who wouldn't be with my expectations. However, it is still the best med I have taken and I am really really grateful for it. I have for some time had to be polypharmic (is tht a word??) so I use klonopin also and may at some point need to add something like lamictal. That is ok, as I said, it is the best med yet. And as someone else said, (UgottaHaveHope maybe?) it is a big deal breakthrough. I'll take the good I get and be grateful for it. I do wish it would work for everyone but of course it won't but maybe this is the launching pad for the next one that can help a greater population of us sufferers.
