Well, I was *trying* to be funny, in a jaded, sardonic sort of way.
You know that "been there, taken that, got the side effects, but slept thru the (purported) therapeutic effects" kind of cynicism that one only acquires through years of dogged persistence in an attempt to treat a character trait like dysthemia with medication.
My experience is only applicable to me. As they say, YMMV.
Please do not take my whining as absolute truth; by all means be optimistic, as that most esteemed philosopher and metaphysician Dr. Pangloss teaches.
Try medication(s). Possibly your condition will be responsive and you will maintain that response indefinitely. Possibly you will respond to a second or a third medication to augment or catalyze the primary medication.
But at some point, if you feel that you are on a wild goose chase, or if you get the feeling that you - like the medieval alchemists - are seeking the Medicine of Medals, the Elixir of Life, that which will bestow True Wisdom and Perfect Happiness then you may want to consider reading "A Subtle Allegory concerning the Secrets of Alchemy" written in 1617.
