> Everything was fine until two and a half years ago when my pdoc put me on Abilify to augment other antidepressants. It didnt do much, so we quickly gave up on it, and moved on with other med combos. However, the idea of Abilify kept on haunting me from behind, forcing me to restart it, add it to other med combos by self-medicating. Later on, this behavior of self-medicating got generalized to include all the psychotropic drugs. I may take 10 kinds of drugs in one day, gave them all up the next day, and try others instead. Most of the drugs I try are antipsychotics. Please tell me what to do!

> My pdoc and I worked out an intensive OCD treatment plan. We tried every SSRI and clomipramine, max dose, enough time. But they are so useless! We want to augment them, but have no idea how.
> One pdoc once pointed out that my symptoms are not OCD because its unlikely for all the conventional treatments not to work a bit if it is true OCD. He said that the psychotropic drugs are addictive by nature, and that Im addicted to them just like a guy becoming addicted to controlled drugs. What do you think?

Oy vey...
First, let no man deceive you. For many false doctors could arise here and deceive even intelligent readers. And you shall here of new drugs and rumors of drugs and these things will come here and pass, but the end is not yet. There could be dyskinesia and diabetes and weight gain and brain damage, and all these are the beginnings of sorrows. And many will be delivered up to affliction and kill themselves and commit mass-murder, but those that endure to the end can be saved. You can be delivered from the addiction and I have come here to tell you how. But there are prohibitions to me here from Mr. Hsiung that prevent me from doing that. But the good news is that you can overcome as others have overcome.
