Greetings amicus_curiae, I don't know how I missed your posts last night when I replied to Tucson.

Thank you so very much for your replies, and for your kindness. I want to let you know that you have my tremendous respect. I not only enjoy your posts on PC; I find them extremely insightful and well-articulated. You have a gem of a personality and a genuine intellect.

I wrote something of an essay-length reply to Tucson; I don't want to repeat what I wrote and bore readers of this thread, so if you want to, take a look at my reply above. Again...thank you.

By the way, many years ago I was on a low dose of Thorazine and found it quite helpful. I think that a lot of pdocs and patients fear Thorazine because of the old stereotypes about it being a "chemical straight-jacket" or have a mental image of the dreaded "thorazine shuffle". What they might not realize is that way back, Thorazine was prescribed in extremely high doses, whereas now it is usually prescribed in a much lower amount.
More is not always better.
