A wise friend once asked me if i would take meds for high blood pressure. Sure i replied.
He asked me to explain why then i resisted antidepressants. He explained my brains chemistry was off. It needed rebalancing. Likely off due to the extreme stress i was under.
I started taking them that day. Relief came within two days. Kindof like someone tuned the lights back on.
I have a script for xanax. Only rarely use it. Its when i get to the point of taking one or likely having panic attack...lesser of evils.
I find it odd my AS is out there accusing me of being an alcoholic and pill popper. I insisted on natural childbirth...med adverse. Didnt want my child born with meds in his system. Ironic, huh?
