I can see your point....I think...Every life is different...
Personally, I am not Pro meds...just anti BP. I have seen what it can do to a life!
In my own case, I was finally able to get on with my life once they started me on Tegretol. I had spent the previous 10 years (on lithium alone) going to the state mental hospital at least once a year due to mania that was "on up there".
I was then able to fall in love
, move out of my mom's basement and get married.... work and earn a living....
That's all...

Its a rhetorical question, I'm not looking for a debate, not my thread, not my fight, just making a point.
Also, I know the pro-meds folk believe to be helping when they say "take meds as prescribed" I was on the other side of the fence afterall. But please take into consideration that this is not always the type of support a poster is seeking and may be taken as invalidating or discouraging.
We are here to support after all, and need to be sensitive to eachother's indivdual needs.
