> The third is the same old song: less emphatetic. But, and here comes the new ipothesis, maybe it's not meds' faults. Maybe it's just me. Maybe the meds give only me the "strenght" to be what I am. Very depressing field, so, let's move on ;-)
I used to have a vague idea that we had a "self" that meds/supplements/whatever altered one way or another -- more my "true" self, or not.
I don't think that way anymore. I think we're a product of our brain chemistry -- alter that and our "Self" is altered.
I found this a bit depressing at first -- Am "I" only chemical soup? -- but now I think of it as potentially continued renewal. ;)
