> Yes, I think my personal, not always favorable views about the pharmaceutical industry indeed came out sarcastically in that first post, and I realized shortly afterwards that it was an innappropriate post, particularly since I was responding to your personal and sincere post and not to "the pharmaceutical industry". I also understand after re-studying the rules (and remembering some common sense) that this forum isn't the place for any sarcasm at all, consciously intentional or not. I'm sorry for expressing myself the way I did. And I sure can relate to the elation and joy of finding the right medication! I envy you for this. I'm still trying, as prozac ceased to be helpful for me after long use.

For the past year or so, I haven't been on any meds. I wanted to prove I could live without them, I guess. Sometimes I like to try to force myself to be strong...Cymbalta was the last med i was on, and I would go back on it if I feel I need to. Lately I've been thinking about it. I think I need to work on finding a new psychiatrist and psychologist (haven't seen mine since i quit meds). In all honesty, I think i quit taking meds because i was exasperated with my pstchiatrist. He told me I would have to be medicated for the rest of my life, and i had to prove him wrong...plus, it seemed sometimes that he used me as a guinea pig...or maybe prescribed meds that i didn't need..
Anywho - your post was not so bad. I wouldn't have taken offense unless I was maybe having a severe depressive episode...and maybe not even then. I've had worse things hurled at me on other messageboards. :)
The rules are confusing to me too...(see my rambling post on the Admin board...i think it may have been a bit impulsive of me to post it though).
Don't be so hard on yourself :-)
