>but I don't see that as a disorder in any way

It becomes a disorder when it is maladaptive. This behavior that many of us engage in *is* maladaptive. We are just simply in denial. I've seen people who are quite satisfied with their medication regiment one day, calling up the doctor demanding a medication change the next. Why?

We don't realize how innapropriate it is for us to sit around here and chat about medications, when

a) nobody has a clue how they work
b) few / none of us can prescribe them
c) they rarely work in the same way for two individuals
d) we hear bad things that discourage us from continuing a single treatment
e) we become convinced about the efficacy or lack therof of particular medications

What the hell does this board actually do for anybody? Seriously. It provides the illusion that we are more in control of our medical treatment then we are. The board just breeds dissatisfaction.

I liken this board to a hobbiest site, say model airplanes. We just sit around and talk, and sooner or later, the user just has to buy a new model airplane.

Or, my father watches all sort of home renovation shows. Every time he does, he's got to buy a new tool, or rip apart a new part of the house. The show produces dissatisfaction.

Lets be honest here. This board is just an excuse for a bunch of people to sit around and talk about something that interests us. Its rarely going to lead to any form of healing (other than a place for social interaction around a common theme).
