I might feel different about this once I start needing to pay hundreds of dollars a month for my Geodon but right now while the meds are free I simply do not understand this notion of "I wish I could be without them but I cannot". It is like taking Fish Oil or vitamin D to me. Do people object to the need to take Fish Oil or vitamin D? No. It is all the same to me. I give equal attention to drugs and supplements and try not to skip either of them. It is just part of wellness, without any distinction.

Would I fry myself in California sun and run the risk of melanoma just in order not to have to take Vitamin D and be "natural"? No. Likewise, I would not be without psych meds just in order to be without psych meds. No point.

Of course, my meds work 100% of the time without side effects and that makes it easy to treat them like supplements.
