of course you can get well w/out taking something! taking something never really makes anybody "well" it just can make life tolerable. i took remeron for a while. it just made me tired all day. is the sensation a burning or a tingling? i have been outside before and thought that it was sprinkling because my skin was tingling. that was not on the remeron though. it was while i was on neurontin.
a few of my psych professors argue that meds make it harder to really get well. they say that meds blunt emotion, which needs to be felt in order to get well. they are of the opinion that emotions are essential and they will find a why to break through. i don't totally agree with them. i think that meds can help you survive a difficult time, but if you can do it without meds, by all means go for it!
