> Weird, isn't it, how meds can affect us so differently? I'm big on psychotherapy if someone needs it & think meds shouldn't be the first choice in treating problems, but it's thanks to meds that I've got who I am back. Without meds, I know the person that shows isn't really me & it's only by correcting my brain chemistry that I can be who I am with a full spectrum of emotions.
************************************************Yes, I see what you are saying. For many of us, I think the problem is this: "Meds -- I can't live with them, and I can't live without them."
I'm still on them, but in the past few months, I've been moving closer to living without them. The turning point came when I came to the realization that, whether I'm on meds or not, "life's a bitch, then I'll die," and the adverse reactions and side effects of drugs make this bitchy life so much more difficult than it already is!
