Hi Phillipa,
No, I don't believe it is as simple as missing a dose, for me anyway.
With future experimentation, I will try and apply logical...simplistic methods.
From all the available data that is available through networking, advances in sciences, pharmacology etc, one thing remains constant, everyone reacts to medicine with a predisposed genetic response.
For the life of me, I can't understand why or how 10 people, administered the identical drug, may have 10 different responses. I'm quite certain this mystery holds true for scientists as well.
I also believe there is a specific drug that is capable of treating a specific individual. This drug should be refered to as the patients "primary" medication.
The primary medication can, if administered in a dynamic way, provide complete therapeutic response.
I truly believe that the human mind can not be treated, or even looked upon in the same manner as any other part of human anatomy.
The brain is never static, for our constant thought pattern in itself, produces a dynamic reaction that requires a method of treatment capable of reacting to this dynamic inertia.
We know the how's and why's of every organ in our body. We know these organs have a primary function which in a healthy human will remain static throughout a lifetime. If need be, we can administer drugs in a robotic manner as there is scientific data to justify such treatment... we "know" how a healthy organ should function 1, 10 or 40 years from now.
Every second of our life, the brain is constantly changing, there is know set "how and why" with the brain... at least when it comes to our thoughts/feelings.
What would life be like with a brain that not only regulated our primary life support function, but regulated our ability to think, we would be robots!
So why should we expect any given drug to respond to our ever changing thoughts? This may seem off the wall to many of you, but I have no other theory.
If I am to treat my mind, I must respect it's ability to never be scientifically understood. I believe the way in which we administer medication is the key to successful treatment.
I do not know what I will be thinking 5 seconds from now, why should I expect the drugs to have a clear treatment path?? It's not a fair or practical expectation!
This may sound confusing or totally off the wall, but it's just my theory. If I figure out the secret, I'll be sure to share.
Regards, Rick
