I'm glad that you seem to be doing well on your current regime of vitamins and herbs. When I was 20 yrs old I too wanted nothing to do with prescription medications and really resorted to a lot of talk therapy and my own critical analysis of myself. When that didn't work I turned to a lot of the natural remedies that you mentioned, however I still was not better. It is true that time does do a lot of healing but for many of us on this board time has slipped by quite fast and after years of depression and other illnesses we still are not better. The meds/no meds debate is a common one around here and I hope everyone judges for themselves if meds are the right thing to do. But realize that should you come on hard times or lose faith in your current treatment it is OK to take medications. Wish you the best.
