how many respondents appeared to be on a cocktail of meds. Not passing judgment at all (if the combination works, great) but it seems that the likelihood of effectiveness being negated or adverse results occuring rises as more meds are added to the mix.

Med cocktails are very common in treating complex conditions of all types.

From my observation... for many it's just more and more meds are thrown at the mess. I have theory that your brain tries to adjust to its "normal" so one gets used to meds.... so up and up the dosages go and more meds roll on. Some cause more problems. So more meds come. Hard to get off, because withdrawal is very long. You need to ajdust back to being free of the mind altering substance. Many are not able to do it, for many reasons, so they are stuck with meds that are not working so great anymore and need something more....
Just my view though.

We all have our cocktails. They change from time to time depending on how you're feeling. It sucks but it is what we have to deal with

Average cocktail for bipolar is 3-4 meds.

These results suggest that chronic lithium treatment induces a desensitization of serotonin autoreceptors which may result in increased serotonin release from the serotonin nerve terminals. Your theory maybe correct with some drugs.
