In reply to Addiction/Anhedonia-- is it meds or nothing, posted by inanimate peanut on February 15, 2010, at 6:09:58
I started reading Stephen Stahl's Essential Psychopharmacology before I gave up in disgust.
What's this masking an addiction business?
As opposed, I imagine, to correcting a chemical imbalance?
I prefer what my psych said....the opiate receptor is the devil's receptor, and any useful AD would feel like amphetamine or cocaine.
What a surprise not to be patronised.(We're just in the historical soup is all.)
It's the attempt to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
There are success stories, I've heard of them myself.It's awful having to try to figure all this out.
