> I won't tell that it can't just be the way you are.. I don't know you. I will tell you though that as much help as therapy can be, it can't do certain things in light of biochemical imbalance. I don't know if you have one. The thing I am wondering is what do you have to lose by giving a med change a try? You said you are used to the thoughts.. you feel they are part of you... but do you wish you didn't have them? Aren't you curious whether life would feel different in a positive way?
**Last time I changed my meds, though, the withdrawawl symptoms were awful. Granted, I wasn't in the best state of mind anyway, but the dizziness, inability to concentrate (more so than usual), etc. made it impossible to study or do any other school work. Plus, my pdoc added a med while I was cutting the dose of my current one, and the side-effects from that med were unbareable. I stopped taking it after about six weeks.
I'm sure life would be better without the thoughts, but I'd rather live with them than deal with all the hassle that goes with changing psychiatric meds. Yes, I'm curious to know what life would be like without the thoughts, but not curious enough to try it right now.

> again.. i may be full of it, so you can just ignore me if you wish, no offense taken.**Not at all. I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!
