[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 429764, member: 3419"] It perpetuates the notion that all medications are going to dull you. I think this woman was just on the wrong dosage. Plus, with-the little quip at the end, I don't know if she's kidding or not. I love quoting Captain Kirk (from the original series) in the episode when he had a chance to erase his memories and become one with-the universe, and he says, "I need my pain." But if your pain prevents you from functioning, then you've got to do something about it. I have a friend who is bipolar and refuses to go on medications because of blather like this. Grrr. He could be so much happier, be so much more ... but he spends so much time in bed, sleeping ... so little time manic (when he's most fun) and even littler time in between. And then there's my older sister who thinks you have to be crazy if you're on medications. Oh well. So, I'll get off of my soapbox and give you the URL: [URL]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/paulina-porizkova/ending-a-midlife-affair-with-meds_b_862442.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
