Wendy,
I have been on the other board and posted messages on there already...but thank you for taking the time to tell me about it.
Yes, I do have some excellent care-providers too!! FINALLY, at 30 yrs. old I am breaking some new ground. I'll tell you..Borderline Personality Disorder is a horrible thing to live with.....but good care-givers and a great family and friend support system are helping me deal and cope.
P.L.

> Medication is OFTEN talked about on this board, it is not banned from discussion per se. But if you have a direct question about medication, and want some friendly advice, you can go to the other half of this board and ask, you'll receive more direct answers on plain PsychoBabble. Also, if you've never read any posts on that board, you should, it's incredibly informative. You can do searches for other meds you might want to know more about. And there is almost always one discussion going on about Effexor over there, sometimes two or three. It is one of those drugs that people love to talk about, because it has such different effects on each person, kind of amazing.

> So anyway, don't NOT talk about your meds on this board, it's part of the mix, you can't talk about how you're feeling without mentioning your meds from time to time. They have such an enormous impact on how we're doing, or they give us side effects that we just have to rant about, and that kind of thing is fine over here...

> ps: sounds like you are in the hands of some great doctors and therapists, that's great. It's very hard to find the right people to help, so bravo!
