Hi there. I'm another one who has had to accept that medication will be part of my life forever. I view it as being like insulin for a diabetic. My brain chemistry is whacked and I have to use a lot of tools to keep it in balance. One of those tools is medication.

The downside, of course, is that sometimes medication stops working or side effects whack the brain chemistry in a little different direction. I'm just seeing some light at the end of one of THOSE tunnels. Ugh. But I'm quite certain I'd be far worse off without meds.
