You know, for a group that allegedly has trouble with anti-depressants, a lot of us are on them. I'm surprised because the conventional wisdom has it that ADs throw us into mania; yet I know I have to stay on my sub-sub-therapeutic dose of Celexa because the alternative is far worse. And I see that a good number of folks are on much higher doses of ADs. It's interesting.....wonder if anyone's done an informal study on the use of ADs here?
