Of course, I'd REALLY like to not have to take meds period, but that's not in the cards and I know it. I'm not ashamed of it anymore, except when some healthcare worker looks at my med list and then at me like I'm some kind of psycho.

I know my old gp said, "I don't know how u function on them." So I got a new doc. I feel bad enough about my meds, I don't need that from a doctor, ya know.
