The meds I'm on are for pain.....they did surgery with no success & now my only relief is the pain medication I'm on. Luckily for me, there are no horrible side effects & I can tolerate the high dose I need to be on just to be able to function. Before I could only lay in bed in a dark room with no sound or smells & even then the pain was horrible.....bad part is that is was constant without any relief other than with ER visits.....so for me even though they aren't psych meds, I will never have a time without the need for meds to have a functional life.

Don't like being dependent on the meds especially when the manufacturer is having problems with production or some reason problems getting the meds distributed to the pharmacies....not knowing how that will end up is scary.......but can't imagine going back to what life was like before I found the right amount so I could finally have a quality life back again.

Not much different than a person with diabetics who needs insulin to keep the body correctly functioning. Sometimes we just have to accept our life as it is & go on from there.
