Hello and welcome Kaliekatec! Thanks for reposting Barb!

It must be very hard to see your daughtergo through something so difficult..but it sounds like you are trying to be very supportive and understanding.

I was one of those who was against taking meds..honestly I was just diagnosed a couple of months ago..but feel like I've lived with this all my life. My personal objection to taking meds was because at the age of 12 I tried to commit suicide using pills..afterwards I just couldn't take any pills of any sort whatsoever. I pretty sure it was a mental issue due to attempting with pills...but I will be honest I knew I had to go with what the MD said and they have truely helped me.

I personally know that taking the meds "change" me but I feel it's been much more beneficial. I don't think it's changed me much other then the fact that I can handle life much better..not perfectly mind you..but better then I could off the meds.
