If I knew 22 years ago just how much pain I'd go through between 16 and 38 ... nah, sorry, that's not fair, Audra. I can't say whether those 22 years would have been a bed of roses or thorns if I were on meds. It's been more like a bed of shattered glass WITHOUT meds and therapy, but that's a different story.
It's tough on all of us, thinking about taking medication to make us, ahem, "normal" ... it's a harder pill to swallow than the meds themselves. But for some of us (like me), its the best answer around for now.
Like Victoria said, whether that's the best answer for you is something you need to talk about with your doctor. Stay on this board long enough and you'll find that a LOT of grief is caused by people stopping their meds cold turkey on their own.
Talk to your doctor soon, okay?
