Phillipa is right on the acute vs. long term thing. The very biggest problem in all of this as I see it, comes when the physicians pile one drug on top of another, trying to fix symptoms that could quite likely be CAUSED by the previous chemical or withdrawal from it.
It becomes an endless, circular nightmare -- at least it did for me. GHI agree with you and after reading GH posts in the past know what she's been through. I was addressing more acute conditions, not longterm. I agree excercise, diet, meditation, therapy are a lot more helpful than dumping chemicals into your body that may do you more harm than good. I believe in the lowest possible dose of a med if needed to alleviate symptoms that interfer with the functioning of your life when other measures are being used in conjunction with meds, etc, Fondly, Phillipa
