we have really struggled with my daughter and meds. she was diagnosed with bi-polar and then more "research" told us that she was using a lot of drugs (cocaine mostly) that mimic the symptoms. when she got into rehab, they put her on anti-depressants. and w/o the drug/alcohol use, they really helped her. now that she is in/out of recovery, i don't push her to take the medication. i worry she will find a bad combination and od from the meds etc.
but i do believe they help a lot of folks - taken under doctor's orders. and i would encourage anyone under doc's supervision and working a good recovery program, to consider all the options.
i sure don't take the value of the meds lightly, that's for sure. thanks for the reminder.

I agree with you Tena, some people need their meds to live!
I feel like I've been on all these different meds over the last 5 years and I'm not better, may be worse?
May be I should try without them. I don't know. I won't go off them without talking to my shrink first. She'll probably talk me into staying on them anyway.

I was talking about you Jen, not Tena.
That and Doctors tendency to over-prescribe in general.
And I wasn't suggesting anyone just stop taking their meds.
I knew I would get into trouble for that post!

*interjection* Just want to note that I totally understand about having to take meds to LIVE but, if there is no disease (except for Alcoholism) and some people have tried without and have managed to maintain a healthy life then why not talk to the shrink and try without...it may not be for you.
That was what I should have stated to begin with...sorry guys

Thanks everyone for your input.
Seeing the therapist with C tomorrow, then the shrink right after. I'll talk to her about no meds but I have a feeling she'll be against it. I think I'm just curious.
I'm nervous about seeing the therapist tomorrow, my head's all jumbled up.
