> LinkadgeWell, if you expect that meds are a 'cure-all', or make you super-human, or resistant to any kind of life-stresses, then you are in for a dissapointment. That is not what they are mean't to be, nor do they work like that. They make life somewhat 'average'...which isn't that great (especially for many..esp if you are poor..or in a bad relationship...or have bad social skills..don't like your job..or have no social support). Medications won't change a damn thing of these. People still sadly think they do. The only two things they seem to repeatedly do, in a very minor way, is add a bit of energy and slightly decrease anxiety. It's up to you how you use that. If you don't, you will never get better, meds or not. Medications are not 'rocket fuel'.
