Amen to that, Raenna. You couldn't have said it better about when and where drugs are necessary. Follow up is absolutely necessary as required by law. Sloppy work by the medical/psychiatric profession continues, possibly because of the patients wanting a "get-fixed-quick-Rx." The pharmaceutical industry promotes this in their ever present advertising.
