I just wanted to add. I recognize that my medications are not completely benign. They are serious chemicals, and believe me, if I could do without them, I would. But my illness is very serious and has impaired my life significantly, and so I need medical treatment. My medications are part of a total treatment plan, and without them the other elements of my treatment plan would be almost completely useless. Without medications, I would probably be dead. So, you see why I feel ok about assuming the risks of adverse effects, because the alternative is really not viable.
This is my way of looking at my illness and my use of meds. Each person has their own approach. If yours is to exclude meds, and that works well, then I respect your decision. But what is right for you is not necessarily right for me or anyone else.
