Yes, it makes a lot of sense. I resisted taking meds for a long time because I didn't want to be the sort of person that depends on them.

But I changed my mind after a long time of struggling to function without them, because it occured to me that I had people depending on me, and it was my duty to them to do whatever it took to get my functioning and my mental performance up where it should be. Even if that meant swallowing my pride, facing my fear of weird and/or dangerous side effects, and taking some medicine.

After changing it around a few times, I found a combination that allows me to get into a better mindset than I've ever had in my life, and I'm sticking with it. This past weekend confirmed that in my mind... I won't try to get off of it until something new and improved comes out of beta.

a fine and enviable madness, this delusion that all questions have answers, and nothing is beyond the reach of a strong left arm.
