Yes--I trusted drug companies to provide MD's with honest
forthright studies. Instead, they "cherry picked" studies,
and did horrid research. I don't let doctors off the hook
either; what about .5% better than control was impressive(
I made that number up, but I don't think I'm that far off.
I took tri, heterocyclic drugs over the years and nothing
even remotely worked for my condition.(A panic attack that
morphed into general anxiety--which after years of failed
treatments turned into Depression.
At this point--I am just livid over the deception. These
drugs were expensive, and so were the doctors visits. I
am now on drugs that control anxiety, but are extremely
addictive. I am embarrassed to mention what I'm addicted
too.
My point, beyond venting if you are clinicall depressed,
these drugs might work. I have never really been that
depressed--or I was told.
I do know one thing though that most MD's won't tell you.
If you have a breakdown(very common in the twenties). Time
will help your condition. Oh yea, if you think you are
Superman(physically and mentally) you probally have a breaking point. I thought I could handle anything better
than my peers; I was wrong. Of yea, try to take it easy
on the alcohol--it works, but you will become addicted.
And honestly, I'm not sure I would step foot in a Psychiatrists office if I could go back in time; at least
a for profit Doctor. They will drag you back in order to
get you prescription filled(It should be illegial).
Remember though--The adage "Time cures all ill's" worked, at
least for me. Aging is a strong medicine. I didn't accomplish what I set out for, but my interests changed as
I got older. If you feel bad, like someone literally yanked
the rug from your feet--I understand completely. Your friends will have just a vague notion of what you are going through, but there are people out there who know just how
difficult you life has become. Again--If you are reading
this, you will get better with time. I have no reason to
lie.
- mfn 13y agoThanks for your comment, I found it quite uplifting. If you don't mind, could you share what aspects of your anxiety improved over time (and what remained the same)?
- refurb 13y agoInstead, they "cherry picked" studies, and did horrid research. You do realize how difficult it is to run clinical trials for psychiatric diseases? There is little doubt that there are drugs out there that work, that didn't have successful clinical trials and never made it to market?
