> The other thing that makes me really mad is that so many people (especially in the 18-25 age group) are actually more accepting of using illegal substances than using what a doc has rx'ed for you. Some of the biggest pot users I know are completely judgemental about people who take psychotropics. Do they think we would want to take this stuff if we weren't suffering?

Can we any longer blame people for wanting to stick with the nightly joint over a prescribed medication......i think thats just it,we dont see its not medication,its still DRUGS,just more controlled and subtle in its onset and action.A medication in my view is desgined to attactk a KNOWN problem,and actualy treat or fix the problem,in our case our problems are only theory,and not only is the action of the medication theory,but how well its works is the same.
They cant not say for sure these medications are treating us.
My view is i will never knock someone for whatever they use,IF it truly helps them,meaning helps them therputicaly.
I think its absurd for me to be critical of a illicit drug user using it to treat a condition and think any better of myself simply because mines is prescribed.
Vice versa as well,for example im not a fan at all of ssris,but if someone told me it is helping them i would not unload a bunch of negativity on them,instead id think they were very lucky to find something that helps period.So if that beer at night helps,or that small joint,and u are truly stable,rock on!
