Have you looked into natural AD's? I read a study that shows this young girl with severe depression, her parents didnt' want her on psychmeds and tried Niacin... according to the study she responded well to it. My brother was so impressed he's started using it. he's a a musician and didn't want to risk his creativity with psychmeds.... I don't speak to him anymore though, so I can't tell if it's still working for him... I agree, be very firm with your pdoc as to what is acceptable to you, best you're on the same page from the get go.
