I think people are missunderstanding about what I was trying to say. The problem is not the amount of medications. Its the overal affect its currently having on me, that I am not able to function at a level I want to. I have change my overal life, and have a huge support system, and going to college has been the best decision I ever made. Each year I am becoming the real me, the day my dad slabed me into the kitchen wall took thirteen years of my life that I cannot take back. Its suprising when I finally got my neck realigned properly, it took away the pain, and brought calmness and took away my depression. I feel like the real me. The pain in the neck narrowed my veiw, now I can see things clearly.
It was not the medication that helped me. It was regaining my life and stop letting everyone control me or tell me what to do. I am gaining my own voice. Personally I do not care for diagnoses or keeping attract of my symptoms. The diagnoses is not who I am, I know who I am. If a person ask me to list my symptoms, I could not, I only could write a list of solutions.
Plus, I am researching different things, like alternative methods, how to safely get off medicaions, etc. To make an inform decision, thats in the best interest for myself. Life is great! Not because of the medication, but the hard work and determination that is taking back my life. If that makes any sense at all.
