> Just wondering...as I heard some research that the 10 year mark is supposed to be the time that most people on meds find their 'optimal' treatment?? I feel like I am sometimes "close", but at many (and I *emphasize* that!) others I feel horrible and like I have gotten nowhere.

> JayI've been on meds for about 12 years now, and I've never felt worse or more hopeless. Each new medecine I tried was as equally unacceptable as the last. No here I am on lithium, Celexa, and Welbutrin. I sleep to much, have mysterious undiagnosable muscle tension and pressure, irritablility, excessive weight, and complete loss of sexual desire. About the only thing that the meds are doing for me currently, is staving off suicide. Sometimes I still feel like checking out thought.
