> It rather troubles me that you refer to yourself and your needs.
Surprise! Caring for oneself is mentally healthy.
Are you also troubled that there aren't enough posts for you to respond to?
> But then we are all different.
Thanks for the affirmation.
Why do you have a need to limit the drug treatments that one may talk about?
> I remember when I first joined babble I think you were trialing cymbalta new at the time and followed your progress or lack of.
You have a remarkable memory.
> So at the time conventional meds seemed to be the general topic.
Based upon the therapies used contemporaneously by SLS?
> It's interesting to me at least that some are now combining some meds not advised by some doctors.
Some doctors are wrong. It does happen. As you so deftly pointed out, everyone is different, including doctors. Some doctors would never prescribe Valium, right?
> I do know websites that are trialing overseas meds not even mentioned on babble.
I know websites whose owners declare that depression is not a medical illness.
> That's neither here nor there.
Exactly.
> The archieves reflect to me a time when babble had one board that all topics were posted on. That shows evolution that there are more boards now with different topics. Some are now gone lack of posters. So I feel for evolution to attract posters
Who says that evolution has a goal? Directors of websites may have goals, but evolution often has other ideas.
> I know work for them SSRI's SNRI's for example.
I know people for whom Strattera monotherapy works. I know people for whom Parnate monotherapy works.
> For them it gets confusing when multiple combinations of meds are blended together.
Perhaps people who are so easily confused should be encouraged to seek treatment by a real live doctor. If they already have one, perhaps they should be encouraged to ask questions of their doctor to resolve the confusion.
> Maybe a poll of admin to see what others would like to see in the way of boards.
I am sure Dr. Bob would appreciate the input.
> I feel a success board would give hope to others too just occurred to me.
A success board? I guess I just prefer to be a failure. One problem: Few people who find success have all day long to post on Psycho-Babble. Many seem to disappear as they have other things to occupy their time.
> In no way is this thread meant to put down Maoi's.
What are your criteria for treating MAOIs differently from all other psychoactive substances?
> Just not all need or have access to them or even want them.
Right. Likewise, not all have access to Luvox and Valium in combination, or even want it. Too complicated. It appears that only one person is being treated with these drugs. However, I would not be in favor of starting a new board just for this person and exclude them from the main board.
