Hi Bob - none of us are Drs - what you or someone else thinks might be PAWs could just as easily be clinical depression.
I know a lot of us get through early recovery and have a drugs are bad mentality, or the idea of being reliant on another drug scares us...but for some of us it's the difference between a good life and a hard one.
Of course if you don't want to take the meds you've been prescribed, that's up to you - but why not get a second opinion?
Life is too short to go through it depressed, IMO
