just to clarify here... no one can or should tell someone to take or not take medications. We aren't qualified and even if we had the appropriate training, no one can tell what you need medically from one post. I don't happen to take meds.. I am not exactly "anti-med" but I think they are often over-prescribed. Taking meds is a big physical shift and if I had everything back to do over I would want to be very sure that I needed them before going on them. Bottom line though is go and talk to a professional and get a proper opinion on that part.
