That is so true. Although meds have helped me, my friend had a terrible experience with them. She was prescribed Adderall and went into a psychosis after several weeks on it. Her doctor actually wanted to add an anti-psychotic instead of stopping the Adderall! In her case, an anti-psychotic would have been a complete disaster because her psychosis was caused by a drug, not by a mental illness. Luckily, her parents did not allow that and she went back to her normal self after discontinuing the Adderall. So yes, everyone is different. Doctors are different. Some docs are great and others doctors are idiots.
