Hi Philip:

Yes I do know people (some personal friends of mine) who have VERY SUCESSFULLY have been and remain free of a/d.. after taking long term..

They are fine.. they have good attitudes and a sense of humor, they keep active and dont dwellon things.. they dont let fear take over.. they just live their lives and dont worry about the WHAT IFS.. they stay in the moment..
I am trying to adopt these beliefs more and more and it truly helps.

Remember.. uyour doc is speaking from her viewpoiont only ( and trained to prescribe rxs) . its like a programmed computer... when this .. rx this..,, if this doesnt work rx this..
you cant really blame them.. they are trained this way much as you train anyone to believe anything. Yet you talk to a traditional chinese acupuncturist who beleives the eastern Philosophy and see the amazing results from this tretament.. you begin to wonder... and this culture has been practicing there treatments for thousands of years longer than western mediicine..
I have yet to see the orientals suffering from anxitey/ depression. panic attacks.. anyone I know they are fully functioning people..
Im sure there are some ,but probabley a lot less than our society.... ever

Take care

Musky

I mean if it got to where I just stop altogether I don't think I will have a choice. It may be that I can continue to work with all this even though I'm still relying on medication.
