The proof is in the pudding.Well, let's hope that your positive responses to amitriptyline and Lexapro are markers of eventual success. They did demonstrate that a biological intervention can make a significant difference in your quality of life. Maybe you don't see it that way right now. My idiotic magnetic is attracted to hope, too. Without it, I would have a hard time justifying living this way for now. Unfortunately, "for now" has already meant a painful investment in 40 years of my life.
