Yeah, for me too. Late diagnosis, decades of hell (and worse yet on wrong meds), made compliance with the right kind pretty attractive. Which isn't to say perfect... . When everything was the best it ever was, I just had to go and mess with it, dontcha know... The classic reasons.. "but I feel so good, maybe there's really nothing wrong with me!" (hahahahahaha! should've just reviewed the journals and the piles of hypo "WTF was I thinking?!" evidence, right?) Didn't take long to get a reality check...
