Hi sunflower,

I know what you mean about not wanting to be dependent on the drugs. I have spent almost 20 yrs on antidepressants, anti anxiety and antimania drugs. I repeatedly tried to discontinue them. I always had to go back on them. At other times the antidepressants just quit on me. I have had too much boomeranging now to mess with them without going thru my doctor. He recently added ADD to my diagnosis, gave me Focalin and I am doing great.

Hope this might be helpful
