In reply to: Dewey 's message, "My motto is "Better living through chemistry."" on 21:40:41 02/20/03 Thu

Dewey, I'm glad you wrote what you wrote about anti-depressants. Currently, I haven't take them, but have flirted with taking them for my most of my life. I most certainly didn't wish to make fun of anyone who is taking medication to resolve a chemical imbalance. I know many people who are using them to correct situations that otherwise could be disasterous. My current decision to not take them has been more about fear – which you addressed quite articulately in your response – than a rational choice. Mental illness, and the reaction to it, has been an important topic in my life. Quite honestly, I am afraid of losing myself to the effects of the meds. I know this is irrational.
