> Are we taking meds we don't need?
Maybe some "we's" but not me "we". I tried no meds and I've tried undermedicating and with no meds did have about 9 months of fine but it did not last. With my history, I have about a 100% chance of relaspe and re-emergence. At least with decent treatment, I can maybe avoid that or at least make it a "dip" as opposed to a pulling votrex that's more and more difficult to recover from with each episode.
I think it's great if folks can successfully go to being unmedicated as a sustained situation, I personally don't know that many in RL that manage to pull it off after knowing many who have tried. Of course, I'm the one who believes in treatments and rarely believe in cures.
