Hello!
> Yes but it still needs to be treated with medication or something surely?
Well its a personal choice. I've been med free for over a year now and I don't feel as bad as I would have imagined. I mean, on drugs I feel bad because of side effects etc etc and off drugs I feel bad too, so I'd rather feel bad 'emotionally' and be healthy physically and work on things with therapy for instance, rather than having to rely on a pill which makes me feel bad anyway. Or waste time, effort, money, finding a pill that works. Even if something did work (and tyrosine actually came very close) I doubt it would work long term - you know I'm 26 I can't imagine spending the rest of my life taking a pill. I stopped tyrosine after only one day actually.
Anyway thats not strictly true. I have taken a *tiny* about of oxazepam in the last couple of months 3 times. But still.
