I agree with this post. Also it is not as uncommon as it might seem for some people to be so intolerant of meds that this isn't an option. I too suggest staying away from meds if this is possible. (I know there are always people who say they would be ''dead'' without the meds Being put on meds ''for life'' without comprehensive ''psych support'' and adequate treatment with psychotherapy is... sub optimal IMHO
