Maybe we should have a vote on who we think SHOULD take medication.

It shocks me to be honest! I'm not one to start calling names but there are a few people on here who have driven me to fight back occasionally! I swear, some people really need help with their anger issues, and medication may just be their best bet!

I take a multivitamin ...

No other meds though, yet.

Due to high cost of healthcare in the U.S., i had to go "Old-School", went down to Mexicali and got my "lobotomy-did"! That damn insurance provider jacked up my copays for lithium through the roof. Thanks Aetna.....





(What a stupid, pretentious and condescending poll!)

Fortunately, I don't have any medical conditions which require medication. I do take vitamins: multi, vitamin C and calcium.

Some people do have legitimate reasons to need anti-depressants. My husband is paralyzed and takes them as do many people who have chronic health issues to deal with. Although there are many people who do abuse mind altering prescription drugs---the ones that doctor shop to get them---I'm not about to stand in judgment about what someone else can or cannot deal with emotionally. That's for their doctor to decide.
