Hi Camille,
Your posts have made a lot of sense to me and I understand about the costs of medicating vs the costs of not medicating - and also the desire to be fine on your own. I too have the same desire and take 3 different drugs which pisses me off because it's too much money and I feel like I can't really enjoy the things I used to quite as much - like having drinks with friends without feeling backlash for the next two days. I have a friend who came off of several drugs and it was hell, but then she readjusted her meds and is doing really well, but her situation is such that she can't go without meds.I also wonder about the maleability of our genes, which would totally make sense given evolution and the need to adapt to the pace of our society. I also wonder if our depressions and problems are linked to our crazy paced lifestyle and the fact that we don't get enough rest and have to work so hard to survive, not to mention the economic situations that people struggle with. I wonder if the mental health issues are symptomatic of different, lifestyle problems.
Anyway, I hope that you are feeling better and that this all passes soon. Drink lots and lots of water to help flush it all from your system.
Good luck,
starlight
