Good for you Wolfspirit. I don't think all meds are bad but the way they are sold as the only alternative. I'm glad you are feeling better Grin

I think you are taking the right approach wolfspirit1. I do believe meds can be useful if used properly and with a therapy that teaches you coping skills like CBT. I hope you are having success.

I knew where you were trying to go trackstar and i agree with you but I don't think there is anyone with the money to get that message out.


Thanks. I still think the more we do to fight the pharm industry the better even if we don't have the money to fight them.

So true. Like so many good things in life CBT gets lost in all the marketing being done by the meds.

You guys are preaching to the choir as they say. Keep up the good work and don't let the pharm industry control the message for their profit and peoples losses.

At least we are putting the opposing view out there... As they say if this post helps just one person it will have been worth it smile

No question and I am sure we are helping a lot of people or at the very least getting them to think about their options Mr. Green

I hope so... But always feel like I need to do more to help others because I wuld not be where I am today without a lot of good advice from people that found help before me with coping skills from CBT.

I totally agree with you squirt, I actually had a total change myself by just changing up my routine a little. Medicine can be a good place to start as long as you always try to find the root of the problem.

It's good to want to do more and be appreciative. I feel the same way.

Way to go guys and girls. It may not seem like much but the more you post about the options out there that the pharm industry does not want people to know about the more people that will be helped. Great job!
