I would like very much to see a board about positive med effects. I have had a series of complications and quite serious side effects from the meds I've taken. I wasn't expecting them, and in fact felt very hopeful when I initially started on them, so they were a shock to me, and probably gave me an unduly pessimistic view of psych meds in general. What I really don't know is how many people do have positive experiences- and whether these are at the recommended doses, or at considerably lower than the recommended doses.
Having a board just for that might encourage more people to post about good eperiences. That said, I'm aware that one of the big motivators in searching for, and finding, psychobabble. is difficulties with medications. That's how I got here.
So far, I haven't found a good med for me, but I've learned many other valuable things!
