I was talking with my girlfriend tonight about one of the newer members on the board and somehow the conversation got around to issues of medication and peoples' experiences with them. I've never taken any mood-drugs but I have many friends who have and I thought it might be useful if people shared their good and bad experiences of the various ones available. For example I have one friend at the moment who is taking prozac because she finds it works well for her and helps her keep a level head, whereas a family member took prozac and took himself off it after a month because he hated having the sensations of happiness when he knew that he didn't actually feel that way.
So, have you been/are you on medication? What has helped? What hasn't? -------------------- Trouble Down Pit: Still updated every Monday and Friday

I had a doctor try to put me on Prozac for OCD, but I prefer to personally cope with my problems, not rely on drugs. It's a level of dependancy I'm not comfortable with. On the other hand, I think there are many instances in which drugs are the only way some people can can function normally. I have found, though, that natural vitamin supplements help. B-6 in particular has helped me with OCD and my sister with Asperger's, and Melatonin helps with insomnia. I think it never hurts to try natural routes first, because they don't have the side effects or addictive qualities. But I'm just a crazy hippy. *shrug*
