DM - nothing's not an option for me right now. I've done the therapy and counseling route and believe me, it helps. I've tried several combinations but it seems like as my body adjusts to them they stop being as effective and it have to switch it up. I do alot of research on anything that i take, and I don't take any medications lightly. I really prefer natural/herbal routes or whatever. But unfortuantely for me this is nessecary.

And for both you and Lil - I really appreciate and applaud your commitment to making mental illness a less "taboo" subject. For those of us that deal with it on the daily, it can be a pretty embarrassing topic, with lots of judgements. I didn't know about your friend, and I'm horribly sorry that you lost him - but glad that you are taking the opportunity for positive change.

Thanks for your help! Love ya'll!
