I tried no meds. and I tried it all...diet, meditation, yoga, religion, light therapy, schedule routine, homeopathy....and um yeah not so much.

I even tried acupuncture once. It made me smoke cigarettes.ha.

I have been so much happier on meds. However, my first med combo was a flaming disaster which had me swearing I would never take anything ever again.

i really thought i wasn't that bad of a case and it would be fine.

Fast forward to two years later when everything crashed and burned and I realized that no amount of will power or routine or trying was going to stop this disorder from pulling me under.

I think lots of us have to come to that point before we are willing to commit to the meds. I don't know.

That's just my story
