is it ok to use meds for these issues?

In reply to no meds update -- it's been 6 weeks, i think!, posted by bookgurl99 on July 3, 2003, at 23:30:37

i'm having spiritual/emotional/moral issues about using meds again.

here's my issue: when i went on meds originally, i was in a state where obsessive anxiety made my life not enjoyable. i could not open a newspaper without being emotionally traumatized by the news. when i went outside, i scanned for danger and never took risks. i needed to check the stove and doors several times before going to bed at night.

now, my only problems, are -- low dopamine/low noripenephrine sympstoms of -- low motivation, eating too much, not enough drive. but i am not anxious or terrified by things, i just have less enthusiasm than i know i can. how do i know if i'm just a lazy fat ass or if i could use med treatment?

is it ok to use meds because they could help me lose weight and feel motivated? is it possible to use them to make new habits/personal image and then lower them?

i guess i'm wondering if i'm too much 'better living through chemistry' and not taking enough personal responsibility.
