Thanks guys -

I was on ADHD 'stimulant therapy' for almost ten years.
When I stopped taking that medication - I started drinking.
Big time.
When I quit drinking -
I got prescribed AD's.
So...
(is there a point, Barb?)
*eventually, yes*

So -
I've been taking medication that doesn't meet many people's 'approval' for almost two decades now.
First -
I never experienced 'depression' until I'd been a drunk.
Wow.
It's awful.
Brain chems are brain chems.
The people who try to go all 'pure' program ... dont' HAVE these probs as a rule, and if they DID ... their probss cleared up after a year or so being sober (it happens).

Vic, honey - stick with your doc.
There's not a founder to be found who'd disagree with that.
Were you isolating like this before you went off the AD's?
Something to think about...
