The drugs work. Missing a couple days is very easy - and the consequences very severe. From what I've encountered several times, I'm surprised nobody is seriously & publicly discussing the very serious problem of missed doses, as likely the root of much of the associated violence.

The controlled studies they do, that determined the increased rate of suicide, is in a very controlled environment - where no one would have missed their doses. If you get angry and feel violent because of missing doses, perhaps it would be valuable to explore the underlying anger - see what it's associated with and perhaps learn skills to calm and cope with it, in case you miss a dose again, etc..

You haven't seen what I have up close and personal about missed doses. I'm not questioning your controlled studies, just observing something related from up-close-and-personal experience: missed doses can FUCK YOU UP ... I'm not talking explorable anger issues, I'm talking your anger processing unit suffers an electrical storm.
