I have been on meds since 1993 and i know i will be on them for the rest of my life. It's bad when i'm not on meds.. i'm not suicidal.. just a blubbering crying mess.

I recently had to quit drinking too. All the pill bottles say don't drink alcohol. Duh.

I take prozac, zyprexa (anti psychotic, but i'm not) and just started lamictal, a mood stabilizer. I also take ativan sometimes... an anti-anxiety.

I used to wonder if i really had to take them for the rest of my life.. but i've come to accept it.

I've been having a difficult time lately.. my boyfriend is moving to Chicago and I'm not... and i know without the meds i'd be more of a mess than i already am.

Don't worry so much about it. You're fine. If you need them, take them. It's ok!
