I didn't get that vibe at all. In fact, I no longer am on meds, so I'm the last person to be "pro stay on pills for life." What I hear people saying is that while they are on meds, they don't mess with them on their own because doing so creates problems for them. While I was on meds, I was careful to take them following my doctor's instructions, and when I was ready to get off of them, I did that with my doctor's blessings and assistance. I just never played with my meds while I was on them because to do so probably would have created other issues;it wasn't worth the risk.
