I think we all have different needs, so I don't see this as a pro/con situation. For me, meds help me to function in a "normal" manner which is very important for my job. I lost one position five years ago because my emotions went out of control at work, and I couldn't pull it together for several hours. For those of you who know that I teach, don't worry, this happened with the administration, not the kids. Now I have a good combination of drugs, and I don't want to risk going back to some of the places I have been.
I am so glad that many of you are able to stay drug-free and to control your dx. Whatever works best for any of us is great.
