This just popped in my head, what happened really if a doctor said "no more medication", and your symptoms went down and got worse because it's not being treated. Is that considered dependence? Are people addicted to antidepressants? and if they don't have them, that's just tough, move on...
Or mood stablizer, seriously, you would go manic, and the only times you could be treated are if you go to the hospital because you flipped out, is that considered dependence on medications? See, this has been a question for a while, what would you do if you had no medications? and it's vital for health. Which ones are X'd out? Controlled Substances? or just a medication in general that worked for something that need to be treated.
Just leave it there, because I see so many people talk about there medication and what happened if it's not there anymore? you have it like people did in the past, before medications where publizied for marketing.
It just, I feel i'm misunderstood because people ask something, and If they ask themself what happened if your addicted to what ever medication you take? I just want to be understood.

Not that many years ago a lot of these meds weren't even thought and not available just didn't exist. So what happened then? Phillipa

They where less known, less prescibed. Yet, i'm not trying ask that, actually forgive me. Yet, it's just if a medication works, and it fit's what you lack during the day, if it fit's that need, then what's the problem with it? That's all i'm trying to say.

No offence, but it sounds like you are trying to rationalize your addiction to stimulants.

Babaric methods were used like really high voltage ECT and insulin induced comas. People were institutionalized for years and years. That's what happened then.

I feel bad, because it worked in the case of my circumstances. Just leave it at this.

I'm going to apologize for making such a post. The thing is, the past was just abuse, and that's what went on. I don't think it was an addiction, it rather more abuse, yet today I've seen what it does, I took it fine, at the end which was around May, 2009. I just need to get on the correct medication, and I apologize to any poster's that where offended at this post. Yes, back then the only thing was crude method's of using Electric shock therapy.
I'll leave it at that, thank you all.

Sometimes I just have to say this life: and it's as simple as a quack.
