I hate to say it, but yes to be really crass, it is put up or shut up sometimes.

I have to put up with a lot of side effects, possible some permanent effects of medication that I have taken or am currently taking at the moment.

I know I cannot discontinue a medication at the moment that is keeping me at least somewhat functional for a disorder that is so complicated that nobody on this planet has it. It can be searched on here and I've never encountered anyone with my cluster of symptoms.

So I feel alone. What should I do? Not take medications that could do nasty things to me or possibly fall to the level where I feel like a confused child and be completely suicidal again more than I already feel lost and lonely alot? Its a complete catch-22 with at least two medications I take, out of the panoply of them.


I don't like to take them, I do, I know what they did, but what am I to do when there is no MAGIC BULLET for what I have and frankly there isn't any magic bullet for anyone. Yet. Maybe we will have genetically tailored drugs and agents this century. Some day stem cell research might turn up something really good.

There are really good solutions and sometimes a scenario where you have to weigh the consequences of taking medication or putting up with a disorder.


This includes chemotherapy, brain, heart, gum surgery, etc.

The list goes on, but ultimately you either chose to take a course that may have a risk or choose to live with something that may be a detriment but you prefer not to deal with it in a certain way because you have a perfectly good reason of your own that you wish to follow.

E.g. chemotherapy and nausea or spending what valuable time you have in this thing called life which we all pass through, with your family and friends because the risks and hospitalization are too much to bear.
