Personally I don't believe that there are miracle medications.

Just my opinion

Many drugs have made me feel better but only Extasy gave me serenity and harmony with the humanity. However it's dangerous and next day side effects are very hard.

My very low dose of Prozac does miracles without side effects. The key factor is the very low dose - I take 10 mg and it is the lowest possible dose.

Everything else that I am taking comes with some sort of a price tag, but Prozac is a completely "free" ride.

Zyprexa was my miracle med. It brought me down from a horrendous manic episode in June and enabled me to sleep blissfully every night for the next four months. I had to come off it in November though, because my blood sugars went out of control and I gained almost 20 lbs. that I could ill afford.

Of course, now that I'm off the Z I've lost the weight and gotten my diabetes back in line, but my sleep has never been the same and my moods are more unstable. Six of one, half-dozen of the other, right?

Hmmm Miracle med? Lets see there have been so many that had helped me but I would say lamictal as it pulled me out of a deep depression when I was very suicidal.

You are right. I forgot about that one. And, of course, Tazorac cream - that is the best invention as far as I am concerned.

Haldol and Ambien, One for balance, the other for sleep. It has been keeping me very stable for a while now.

Lamictal seems to be it, for me.
