You already have a ton of posts (and I admit to not reading all of them), but my take on it is...I'm a better person with the meds and put the people I love through hell without them. So, I suck up with side effects. However, there is a new clinic in Calgary called True Hope, they claim that our bodies are out of line due to vitamin problems and help you slowly get off your meds. No promises, but you can get the info.
