[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 689155, member: 20051"] Not personal experience, but in working with mentally ill people, I will say that there are some people for whom medication does not entirely alleviate all symptoms. For some people it may lessen the symptoms, or make them less severe to the point that the patient can function. It could also be a matter of needing a medication adjustment or change or combination. Psychiatric medications are an inexact science. It isn't lie antibiotics where you can culture an organism and determine what particular antibiotic the organism will respond to. With psychiatric medications it's trial and error and highly individualized. What works for one person may not work for another. It can be a long process finding out what medications/dosages/combinations work. [/QUOTE]
