It took me ten years to get properly medicated. As I can imagine with most of us, this time was filled with frustration and pain. If you are now properly medicated, how long did it take? If you aren't, how long has it been? I ask because this question has come up with two old high school friends in the last two days, and I never would have thought I'd be having this conversation with them. It always amazes me what an important question this is, especially for those who are still struggling. I feel that the medical community hinders us as much as it helps us.
