Why on earth would a Dr. Rx an AD without depression? Who are these doctors that you can just drive up and make a request for a pill and they hand it out? I just find this ridiculous. How can they help? I’ve always been told that my bipolar, anxiety, and OCD were due to a chemical imbalance, and the meds are a way of balancing these things out. I couldn’t walk into the dr’s office and demand a cast put on my leg just because, and these drugs are much more dangerous than that.

AND I feel cheated. These drugs are supposed to help me, and we're playing duck duck goose in an effort to find the right one, and John Q Public can walk in off the street, perfectly healthy mentally and he gets a dose of sunshine.
