    A bipolar person should never be on ANY anti-depressant. It induces mania.

    I like the pendulum comparison, and some meds are bad, but there are some of my meds that are great, I dont view them as something to be avoided because a scientific psychiatrist has to prescibe them to me every 3 months. I am lucky I worked for the government and therefore I get to do what I want and get paid a fair ammount of money for it, so being diagnosed has worked out well for me. Also, some of my meds (though lately going thru a time that I wont whine about) have helped me not be so irrated and mean all the time on the one end, and on the other end drowning, so when we add in some research and wisdom into our lifes instead of focusing on what are viewed as faults, we will hopefully all know to view it as nothing but a hurdle to get over time and again, and keep chuggin along until the "natural" finish line and not take an early exit like many of us have thought of before. I am a survivor and I am going to do whatever the hell it is my inner spirit came here to accomplish, and go home when it is time, but not before then. I will not quit, I dont give a **** how hard we think it is, nothing worse than having to come back and do it all over again, so my friends, rejoice in your successes and do your best to not fret overly so when you think you cant get out of the pit, by now you know that you can get out because you have been there before and will be there again. Each time you survive without rubbing yourself with an early exit, you then will realize the warrior that is within you and me. Let them run the show for a bit, because sometimes we just cant get out of our own way.

    I completely agree about Prozac. No way I'm ever taking that again
