Watch yourself around eharmony. That personality profile takes hours to complete and only 1 out of 4 get any match at all. Who knows what the average number of matches is for the others.

eHarmony is based upon a complex matching system developed through extensive research with married couples. One of the requirements for successful matching is that participants to fall within certain defined profiles. If we find that we will not be able to match a user using these profiles, we feel it is only fair to inform them early in the process.

We are so convinced of the importance of creating compatible matches to help people establish happy, lasting relationships that we sometimes choose not to provide service rather than risk an uncertain match.

Unfortunately, we are not able to make our profiles work for you. Our matching model could not accurately predict with whom you would be best matched. This occurs for about 20% of potential users, so 1 in 5 people simply will not benefit from our service. We hope that you understand, and we regret our inability to provide service for you at this time.



I didn't get anything that annoying last time which makes me think it might not be all that bad of an idea. Initially I got something like that but more like "we don't have a match at the moment but we'll be glad to keep you on file untill we do" followed by the match I mentioned just like 2 days later.

Yep, Wellbutrin too, Sean (Wellbutrin and Zyban are the same product, just marketed differently, haha). See? I wasn't kidding. :wink:

If you have insurance or $$$, then try a psychiatrist. I wasn't responding to meds when I was younger and was having trouble very recently, and I had to go to a bunch of them before finding one that could figure out the right combination of meds. Telling them that alcohol is the only thing that works is probably an important clue a doctor could use to understand better what combination of meds is right.

Sadly, Sean, I've seen both -ologists *and* -iatrists over the past 10+ years, and I've *been on* the med combos for years as well. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING did anything at all except put me in a zombie-like stupor (not to mention that the withdrawal symptoms each time I went off a med or meds was a freakin' nightmare). I'm not doing it again. Wasn't worth the insane amounts of $$$ or the worry and heartache (and numerous side effects) involved... *Shrug* :(
