Some people are happy with the meds. let's let them be.
Brain altering drugs are not the answer to our problems.
Indeed, but then again, neither is therapy.
Up it, lower it, and you will feel better for HOW LONG? A month? A year?
some people are better on meds and this, for years.
In a year or so, you'll be back on a board like
this with the same darn complaints and the same darn issues and you will find that you just again wasted precious time avoiding your real issues by taking a drug that only smooths over the surface of your problems.

Maybe, maybe not. WHo knows?> Or do you plan to be on these drugs for the rest of your life? If so, are you truly living your life? or are you wasting your life ignoring your problems? Our PROBLEMS are here for a reason, we must recognize this and learn what lesson they are here to teach us.
I agree, but I have far too much respect for people to push them in any direction. all lies and jest, still a man believes what he wants to and disregards the rest.

> Don't waste your life.Life will waste itself. my advice would be do what the heck u want as long as you don't hurt anyone.
Get off these meds.
If you want to!!!!It's going to be a nightmare to do this, but it's better to do this now than waste one more SECOND of the precious little time we have here.
According to whom?
