I just want to add my 2 cents about this ongoing med debate. First of all, we are here to support each other, not condemn or judge. Medication is an individual decision. Yes, some may be able to function without them, but there are some of us who do need medication to carry on with our lives. I believe that if you are under a doctor's care and medication is carefully monitored, there should not be a problem. I have withdrawn from medication before, and with the help of my doctor, we were able to work through it together. I also believe that one should not have to suffer through this disorder when there are medications out there to control it.
For those of you who are currently taking meds, no one should ever make you feel bad about taking them. Like I said before, it is an individual choice.
So ladies, retract your claws, and try to help each other out.
