I'm glad to see in your recent posts that you have managed to get through a period of denial or perhaps even resentment against drugs, and have gone on to accept your need for continued treatment.
It sucks to know that your life is tethered to a foreign substance, without which you cannot function happily. I went through that period in my treatment history. However, like you, I came to the logical conclusion that my alternatives were few, but that the payoff to treatment was potentially huge.
Remember, there is a very real possibility that something like gene-therapy will obviate the need for other somatic treatments during your lifetime. So, Nardil might represent a bridge until such time that better treatments come along.
