Brain chemistry and hormones are really hard to specifically target, and its seems that everyone is a little different here. Maybe it’s also a case of it being more difficult to test these types of drugs on animals, so the trial and error process with human efficacy takes longer. I know with these mental health drugs it always feels like let-throw-****-against-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks.
One anti anxiety med caused me to cry the entire day, the next day that is, after I took it. Not needed on a regular basis. Changed meds, and waiting to see what the side effects will be, if any. Now the antidepressant has been working marvelously for decades!

There are much better ways to alter your chemistry. Excited that research is finally opening up into alternative avenues.

I thought years ago that we should’ve had a way of testing blood &/or brain fluids to determine insufficiencies &/or overloads, but no-ooo.
