i really respect your quest for an answer to this question.
i have asked myself similarly before.
but i also wonder if PB makes me unsatisfied with the results i do get from meds.i have had some meds work to a degree, like now i can function, but i'm tired and have about a three hour section of the day that i get very depressed (must be lul from meds).
i could be satisfied from that, that it's MUCH better than a few weeks ago.or earlier this year when i was on lexapro, i was doing pretty well, but lex was making me SO tired i was going to bed at 9 or 9:30 and had no "ME" time in the evenings. (plus the anorgasmia)
and i did have little cycles but they were little, nothing major.
couldn't i have been satisfied with that?no, i wanted better. part of me thinks because i do read this site and get hope from others who HAVE found a med or combo that allows them to feel well without SE, and live fuller lives.
and THAT's what I WANT.so i get back on the med trials. looking for that perfect combo.
sometimes i think i wont be satisfied until i try every med out there.so yours is a very good question.
but for right now, PB is nothing but helpful for me, and does not hinder me. it is a ray of hope. a place where i do see others that struggle with meds not working.and i am very thankful for that.
and someday when i find the right combo, i will probably leave. but i like knowing this place is here. because knowing my past history with meds...i'll probably be back.
