I appreciate very much your post Mattds, it sounds logical and helpful. I just want to add something about 'stress'. I'm much more stressed when I *don't* take meds (don't know about my brain though). If stress isn't *cured* you will be more likely to have organic problems, I think. I'm not referring to the normal and positive stress people experience in everyday life, but rather the unuseful and meaningless stress we experience when we're not properly medicated. I'm not 'pro-meds' anyhow but I was just reflecting about the fact that since I quit my meds a couple of years ago I had problems with many psychosomatic disturbs ... being not functional is stressing, or at least, for me it is. I can't stop thinking when I'm not medicated about the fact that I'm wasting my time, that I'm not doing anything and so on. I don't think this helps my immune system ;-) Sorry for rambling
