Don't go! Just ignore posters that you don't agree with. The board is heavily moderated so the experience is unlike any other public forum I have ever been on. It allows all of us to express ourselves in a generally safe place. However everyone does get to express themselves in a civil way even if the majority of the board doesn't like it.
I've been around for 3 years and there has always been an anti-med troll. Many people have either been banned from responding in anger or left in protest. It's not worth losing something as cool as babble over 1 or 2 posters.
It also helps me to take what I call "babble breaks". I don't read the board for several weeks at I time while I am tapering or going through a med transition. I don't like to have opinions that conflict with my doctor while I'm going through withdrawal or having an episode. I usually only babble to support others. I rarely post about my own situation, but I do check everyday and read most threads when I'm feeling well.
Don't underestimate your ability to help all of us. Please stick around.
