I actually have my own additional issues that make it not so easy for us either: my shrink saying I have to go off EVERY bipolar med I'm on because they're not safe, and having to do it gradually. That's actually the part I'm most scared about. But anyway.

I was just worried the docs weren't up front about how long some things can take. If you knew up front and were just planning to try a couple rounds then move on to try alternatives, then that sounds just fine to me. Just had me worried that you were giving up and getting all upset about it.
