Musky:
I feel you are trying to justidy why meds are always bad. If you were not put on AD's for depression or anxiety how do you know they never work for such conditions?
So only pyschotic people have chemical imbalances? I don't understand your thinking at all. If that is true couldn't a chemical imablance cause anxiety or depression too then? We know during anixety attacks things are chemically changed in the body.
Yes, high blood pressure and diabetes problems can be measured in the body. Just because they haven't figured out how to measure neurotrasmitters yet doesn't mean an imbalance doesn't exist.
If someone has been helped by AD's doesn't this means they have worked? NOT all drugs are like remeron.
Sometimes I feel you think your experiences should be the same for everyone and they are not. Med free is the goal but may not work for everyone. We each have to choose our OWN path.
A lot of my problems are due to allergies. If those had not been treated I would be in a world of hurt. My point is we can measure some body processes and others we cannot YET.
You are lucky that you have been doing fine off of meds. Some of us are not that fortunate.
