"It saddens me that psychiatry is better at beating nails down than removing them. Meaning they are better at handling positive symptoms rather than negative ones."

Yes exactly. Great quote. I tried both Wellbutrin and Effexor but they did nothing for me. I am very scared that I have permanently fried my brain from the use of antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and antipsychotics over the past ten years (my official diagnosis is BiPolar I). I'm wondering if this is some extreme form of withdrawal? I am not on any psych meds now. I am not motivated to try any more, as nothing has consistently worked for me and I fear that I am upsetting my brain chemistry even more by adding more drugs. I sincerely hope it doesn't take ten years for me to get my emotions back! I refuse to give up. I will keep searching for alternative therapies. Relieved to know that I am not alone in this. Thanks for being out there.
