> Hypothetically, let's suppose you have epilepsy and that you experience severe convulsions without medication. If this were true, would you feel ethically dubious or wrong in taking anti-epileptic medication?Hey Ron, I do see what you mean for sure. It's just that psychiatry, as I am sure you know, has so many shades of grey in it....so much scope for criticism. Speculation will be always rife until we find that elusive external validation of these disorders. This leaves certain question marks in my mind, and I tend to ruminate on them!
> In my humble opinion, the same holds true with regard to your Nardil. If the medication benefits you, its not wrong or ethically dubious to take it. And dont forget; you are Ace the Nardil Champion!haha! Cheers mate!
> As you can see in my med list below, I still take Nardil and I do not feel bad about it at all. I added Nardil to my med comb almost three years ago and its the best medication I have found to treat my bipolar depression.
I am so glad to here this. I really hope things are all well for you.

> I care about you, mate. Be well.Thanks Ron- I appreciate that sentiment very much, it uplifts my spirit.
All such brave people on here, struggling against these undefinable problems/illnesses, and never giving in. It is admirable.
Peace,
Ace:)
