I do NOT think you are a junkie at all.
I have read your posts before and belive me, your not.
Simply just taking your medication does not make you any thing, and your friends really shouldnt know or say that, because it seems that they want you to justify why you take medication.
Anxiety, depression are things that really can make life not what it is suppost to be.
My dad says you need your "dope" when i have an anxiety attack. He himself takes lots of medication, what is he talking about. I take Xanax.
Sometimes people want to justify why you take medications, considering my dad which extremely makes me angry because he takes so much medication, then says i have to take "your drugs". I out to just go and say where are yours? already in your system?
Dont really talk about really what you take. Its ok to take medication, plus all of the posts i've read from you, your fine.
Take Care
Matt

> I wonder whered id be had i never touched medication
you'll only know if you try.
i'm wondering the same thing.
desipramine at 13? all relatives on AD's...these are deep reflexive questions; for us personally and socially.
scottland/ireland are attempting to change policy on AD's as use has exponentially increased since the reduction of terrorism and its costing them big $$. sometimes horror stories are fun, if you like here's a site about antipsychiatry. http://www.oikos.org/antipsicen.htm
are pdocs and the entire field just pushers?
take everything anyone says with a grain of salt. you have to make your choices.
remember pdocs are your employee.

Hi Willyee,
i have asked myself the same question many times, i worked out and ran since my teens, i'm still doing it at 35 and never touched drugs,
now i am on prozac, klonopin, serzone and sometimes ambien, it does make you pause to think you are putting "so" many [i speak here of myself]
drugs in your system, although legal, it makes me feel i am going against my 12 years of taking nothing but vitamins and amino's, trying to live a healthy lifesyle.
i definetly don't think you or i come even close to the definition "junkie", but i clearly understand how you feel.
i sometime, well most times curse the day i popped my first prozac, but i was desperatly fighting to save my job, and ocd really had me scared. if i had another chance to go back 5 years, i think i may have explored "CBT" and st. john's wort futher, but now i'm scared not to take my morning "zac", i feel your frustration bro...john
