I am so sorry, almedafan! I kind of went "over the top" with my drugs post. It's an important topic to me and I guess I became worried my views might be misinterpreted--I know many here on PC take psychotropic meds and I never want my views to make it seem like I am disapproving of that. Some of my brain dump on that topic just kind of got triggered by your post. Sorry! Your posts have always been helpful. Because of this interchange, I have thought even more about the drug question in the last day and decided I'm done experimenting with meds. I'm going to stop them. I will wait until after a significant event coming up for me later this week so I don't accidentally destabilize in the middle of that by stopping, and then I plan to quit. It's been interesting to be on meds, and in some ways I have liked it, but I need to do this myself. I worry about the longterm effects, both physiological and psychological. I have already seen behavioral changes in me I do not like. In my case, I don't believe the benefits are outweighing the negatives.
