Always an unsettling thought...until it spins 'round an winds you one in the mug, and the med people say "see, told you".

Therapists giving up on you has to be one of the most painful invalidating experiences. You open your soul to them, and after a while they find excuses why you need to move on. "Take your meds" Ugh!

Could that med have been Ondansetron (Zofran) by any chance? I came across a research article that claimed positive results for reducing sensory gating deficits in people with SZ. I asked my pdoc about it, but she was dead against trying it because it was meant for treating cancer patients with nausea from chemotherapy. Apparently it works by reducing Serotonin in the gut. I had been all excited that I may have found a solution to one of my most debilitating problems.
