will they eventually lose their magic touch and you'll be left floundering? should you change meds after a couple years if everything is going ok?

They only poop-out if you want them to.

isn't that like saying "they only work if you want them to"? if we have chemical imbalances, only meds (most of the time) can fix that. right?

I have not seen any statistics on "poop out". My guess is that it happens to most people. But the simple solution is just to let your doc know that you need a dose increase.
You should not change meds if everything is ok.

Sorry, I think your right, now. I was trying to cut down on meds, and having success for a while. Thought I might actualy get off them. Unfortunatly it didn't work. I so far have managed a reduction in celexa that I think I will keep. The zyprexa didn't work at a lower dose.
