> I always think of it like this.. to be 'clean' is to have brain chemistry that's in the range of normal.. not sped up, not slowed down, not hallucinating, not manic, not severely depressed. For some of us, we need meds to get to normal brain chemistry, so we're much more clean and sober on meds than off them.
Tabitha...what a cool name:-) Nicely put. I heard a speaker at a convetion say messing with our meds was like self medicating. I never thought of it like that before.
Take care
