I read on the other thread that meds eventually become ineffective. This has me spooked! Do they ALL become ineffective? Am I going to spend my years going through the emotional turmoil that I have over the past few months trying to get stable?
My shrink has led me to believe I can get better....forever. He makes me think that if we get a medication that works and I stay on it for 5 years I will be 'better' is he just saying that to placate me? Am I never going to be truelly well and have this BP forever more? So sorry if this sounds naive, but I feel bereft of what I thought could possibly be my future.
Every time I have changed meds in the past year (and it has been several) I get so worked up.
Sorry, I have just got myself so worked up.
