> I know when a drug is working when I NEED to get out of the house, when I want to workout, when I want to go out and socialize, when I can breath with a loose relaxed chest, when I can think clearly and effortlessly, when my brain in constantly active in a good productive way, when I have plenty of energy, when I can feel all the empathy in the world for other people, when I can cry again, when I LOVE doing things that I LOVE doing, when I can FEEL the good weather, when the sun on my face feels f*ck*ng amazing, when I feel good and relaxed with someone I like, when I can carry on a good conversation without having to rack my brain for the right words, and when I feel ALIVE. I have experienced all of this on a medication. I also had to exercise on a regular basis, avoid drinking too much alcohol, and get great workouts at the gym or running on the road, the medication alone was not enough.
See, I'm obviously not feeling or functioning that great on medication right now, I just read my last sentence, ha ha. I meant to include eating good food regularly and enjoying spending time with friends that I loved as 2 things I needed in order to get the full experience of the "good life" on medication.
