I believe 9 of the 12 were (now) on all these meds. I don't understand the need, I guess. I was brought up that you just make the best of what you're offered each day. Depressed? Get over it! (The previous is literally what I was told growing up). Much like Strand, I'm extremely hyper, and rarely get down. I don't even like taking aspirin....
Can someone explain your need?

being stressed (Not depressed as much as most people would expect me to be...I'm more PO'D at the medical 'cirumstances' with my Mother's death) out is the only reason I am on Lexapro, The stress was causing me chest pains so my Dr. figured I needed something to calm me down & relax me...Otherwise I feel fine (I am an EXTREME hyperactive person...Moreso than most people alive!)
