In my personal experience this is so true but people don't realize that every medication is different and psychiatrists are relying on very little information for your first prescription.
What worked for me was 2 weeks on a medication, gauge the symptoms (some were absolutely terrible) and decide to move on to another one. After maybe 3 anti-depressants I found the correct one.
I don't really think we know much about how some of these medications work which can be unsettling but we do know they help some people. To me at least it was worth it.

And for Parkinsonism, my personal cocktail is probably (the pharmacological equivalent of) a little bit sweeter and not quite so bubbly as what works for others with the "same" symptoms (which, by the way, resemble Huntington's more than they do "classic" Parkinson's disease). Brains are complicated.
