Actually Kers, far from it actually. I am not pro-medication or pro-alternative medication. I state here over and over, I sit on the fence and look at all the facts to make a more diverse observation. I DO NOT give medication specific advice because it cannot be done online, it could only ever be done face to face, and it can never be done by theory, knowledge or experience.
It can only be gauged by the sufferer themselves on a trial and error basis.
I think your reading something that doesn't exist though kers, as I am not either. What physicians tell you is not necessarily true. Just because a doctor has a degree, does that make them right? No. It is proven more and more now that physicians have moved from what we knew as conventional treatment to now a business model. Factors from society have pushed that. You often don't see a rich naturopath to the extent as a doctor. Why? Because one is more interested in the patients health, the other is more interested in the bottom line figure. Pick which one?
Neither by themselves are right. You get people who are all medication or all naturopath, not even willing to entertain a combination of both to provide a better result. Not wise IMO. Each person must try a myriad of treatments and combinations in order to find what best suits them. My point has always been this, nothing more, nothing less.
The majority of doctors are money based, not all, majority. You can find the right one. Just read the experience of so many here who listened and went looking.... they soon found for themselves they are not created equal when it comes to dealing with PTSD. You need trauma specialists, not just a physician or therapist who wants to shove pills down your throat. You want one who evaluates all factors and gives a wide range of treatment variations in order to best help the patient.
How many people here report how they go to their doctor and are kicked out the door in 10 minutes? The majority.... why? Because the majority are money based business models now, not physicians who are actively interested in helping their patients get better, but instead keep repeat customers coming back to continue spending money. Very few treat properly now. These are facts, not fiction.
