yeah...psych drugs are....kinda complicated. im glad that i only take 2, neither at high doses (abilify, lamictal). Plus, I do the Orthomolecular vitamin routine on top, and that does seem to help.

and yet..where's the line between "controlling symptoms" and controlling the person/"patient" ? between making "mental illness more managable," and making the person/patient "more manageable" ?

I sense a lot of power dynamics in psychiatric treatment. ugh. I've had my fair share of misadventures in psychiatry and psychology, and now...I'm eager for the day I can taper off and just say "ENOUGH!"

OK. anyway, if you're into alternative/complementary stuff, here's a link to free information about the vitamin thing I do.
