Screw conventional medicine. All diseases are mental anyway but the shallow minded doctors don't realize it. So why would you trust someone who is as blind as you are and the only difference is the white apron. Drugs won't help. you have to figure it out on your own

@weirdo: i totally get where eyou are coming from but I am one extremely fucked up individual and medication has done wonders for me. To each their own.

The problem is when your inner peace is dependent on medications. This won't be a solution but an escape. The problem with running away is that sooner or later you would be catch up and then the whole process repeats

I agree, but for now I'm going to take them because I really really need them. Slowly I'll wean myself off and I definitely won't allow myself to become dependent on meds.
