All this talk about doing things without drugs to help...hmmm, and what if the system is damaged anyway and no amount of exercise, meditative thought, etc. helps enough? I have serotonin loss...it's LOST! C'mon...yes, I exercise, I feel better, but the serotonin is still gone. I eat things supposed to help dietarily for serotonin loss...Lexapro is the only thing that has curbed the tendencies to anxiety and depression and just feeling better. I'm flaring a bit right now, and back on pred...it's helping again...without it I felt shitty and was headed towards another larger flare...I'm feeling better today...sheesh. Don't put away your drugs just because of some cultural reflection on the use of drugs and don't give up your 'feeling better' routines as they do help, but don't cure...we've had this discussion before...btw, how many drugs do we all take as we discuss 'better' methods? Hehe! Also, Lexapro is considered by most docs to be one of the finest drugs out there without many side effects for us crazies! So, how about it...got drugs!!??
