With some medications, it seems like there are so many difficult tradeoffs. The clean meds, don't much work for me, and the dirty meds are, well...,too dirty.
Amitriptyline works great for depression, but there are just so many tradeoffs, feeling drowsy and out of it all the time, rubber brain, eating all the time, perceptual disturbances etc. As soon as you start feeling well, you wonder what kind of idiot ingests this toxic crap.
Sometimes I'd rather just be depressed. There are so many unmet needs, and I am an idealist in that I don't believe the sick should have to make such nasty tradeoffs.
Remission should be just that, remission. I believe that there is a way to get there without all the crap that we put up with.
Theres got to be a simpler, cleaner way to just turn off depression.
