Is this true Scott? What is the theory behind it? I am almost in tears right now because for the past few days I have been beating myself over the head for start meds etc.

I have dexedrine and I use it when I have to do something. For instance today I have to meet my friend and her kids and then we are going to a movie. I took the dexedrine so I could move. Right now I feel okay ... not depressed. I know it's a false sense of well being. But if what you say is true then all these years of being on meds was needed? I know I suffer from depresssion (I am dx'd BP type 2). But I wondered if I had stayed away from meds, would things have gotten this bad?

I look forward to your reply.

Maxime
