hi purpleplaces
congrats on getting clean and i wish you much success. i think you are right that there are many who are on meds here. it is more often than not, but i do see many posts of people trying to get off their meds.

i for one am on meds after being against them for most of my life. i tried so many avenues to address my bipolar /ptsd and manage life without them. finally i had a massive breakdown and was admitted to the hospital against my will when i tried getting help. i knew it was take meds or die. the incredible difference in my life since being on meds has convinced me that i would rather live my life with them than without them, i still dont like them, but i dont want to go back to the hell i was lving.

good luck to you.
