Your intelligence is showing, Justfloating. You're forming questions pdocs and therapists don't particularly like to deal with.
I'm sad for your situation, yet it interests me for my own reasons. My situation seems to be the near inverse of yours. My meds don't raise me to general functionality but are relatively successful in making me
not care I'm useless. Well, at least that's the effect of the meds most of the time; I remain subject to short, sharp episodes of severe emotional turmoil.

I identify with your logic. Now, trying to play therapist's advocate, I might ask, "Don't you want to control
when you are functional so that you can go to school and work?" "Don't the meds allow you to be a part of the working world (regardless of how you feel)?"
It's a dilemma, a dilemma stated so well by you and which confronts many of us. We'll wrestle with this together.
