Personally, I'd stop taking the medication and find a doctor who will
get to the root of the problem.



Maybe its something like a broken fight-or-flight switch ...where meds
would help.

What if the root of the problem is something akin to emotional epilepsy?
Meds please.

All I know is my own experience. When I was a freshman in college, I
was told I had "depression". I never took the meds that were
prescribed. What I couldn't put a finger on then, and know now, was
that what I was feeling was homesickness, stress, loneliness. Really,
college is a huge adjustment, and without a good support system, anyone
will go a little crazy. It was NOT depression. The problem is, most
doctors are so quick to diagnose anyone who's not happy as having
clinical depression. It's simply not true.

Are there some cases that need meds? Sure. But I bet you a lot of them
are like I was.
