I think both are true. It feels like a semantics thing. If you're changing things up a few times a year I wouldn't consider that static even though the core of the regimen remains unchanged. I will let him speak for himself, but I took him to mean that the neurochemical makeup shifts from time to time requiring intervention or a change of some kind to then return us to balance. I didn't assume it to mean that couldn't also include situations where people use prn meds and then go back to the cocktail that works for them the majority of the time.
I have a similar deal going on with my pdoc. I don't take anything normally and then go back to a low dose AP when needed until things calm down. That system works for me so far, and I like it a lot. I'm glad you found something similar that works. For me at least, it keeps me from worrying about needing to constantly shift the recipe for success and I take comfort knowing there's always a plan to address temporary blips.
