I am so sorry that the experiment did not go as you had hoped and that you might not have to have them as a part of your regime. I am glad that you have found some relief with them and that things are going better.

I have a hate/love relationship with my meds in that order. I hate being dependent on the them, to be level, to avoid the roller coaster, and to function. On the other hand, I love the fact that I have found ones for the moment that are working that do allow me to function and keep me from swinging so that I can function, and I do love functioning. I don't want to need them but know now from similar experiments that I do. Life is hard enough as it is, why struggle against something that can be helped. I consider them to be treatment like any other illness as someone with diabetes or high blood pressure would, necessary to make me the best/ healthiest I can be.
