I liked both your long posts. Congrats on your D! Whoohoo! Dr Banga! (What sort of doctor? As of today, I've got a little urge towards entomology, but I know I'll get over it if I look at pictures of bugs -- just a little inspired by reading Holldobler and Wilson...)
Also, like you, I look at the cost/benefit analysis of meds. For me, that takes a huge self-lecture about it, and a lot of support from friends. My experiences with meds have been less than stellar, and I have often thought that life is not worth what the drugs do to me.
Then I'll find a med that actually works. And then it seems worth it, for the most part. Daily headaches? Still better than the alternative.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful input on this matter.
