[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 660332, member: 1550"] Susie, I love you, but I don't think you understand clinical anxiety. You can't necessarily overcome it without medication and medication is not a bad thing and she should not be told it is. I've taken medications so I can live and function since I was 23 and natural remedies don't help if you are seriously bipolar or depressed. I take an SSRI that has saved my life. I'd be dead without it. And nobody had more therapy or worked harder at it than me. CG, if you have bipolar and need your medications, keep doing what works for you, what the doctor tells you. Almost half bipolars discontinue medications and it's not pretty. It is not something that happened to you because you are "weak." It is like diabetes. And epilepsy. It is a medical disorder and nothing to be ashamed of. I'm going to google your medication. I never heard of it :) Some medications were not good for me so I didn't continue them, but I still tried to find a good combination for me and unfortunately it is different for all. [/QUOTE]
