I too am a firm believer in meds.

I take mine for a different reason than many in this room. But I have
to say. I believe I get a lot of the same benefits from my cymbalta
that this room gets from their meds.

I believe in the thought that the brain had a chemical imbalance and
that to make it balanced sometimes you need a medicine. I'm personally
very grateful to the doctor who looked me in the eye. And asked me,
who was taking care of me.

I was taking care of all my kids, all the other things in my life. But I wasn't taking care of me. She felt I had a need to look at my life and see if
I too needed something to help me with my moods, sometimes depression
and sometimes just unhappiness with life. She probably will always be
one wise doctor.

Please go to a local Mental Health Clinic many have sliding scales for either
young people, low income or students.
I am not sure if you fit into one of these categories, but if not they can
usually find a way to help you anyway.


You are worth the trouble and time to go visit with them. Sometimes
they can be just what the doctor ordered. I know many who think they are the best friends they can have.
