Good luck my friend. If your doc feels you need the meds by all means don't let anyone talk you out of it. My husband is bi-polar and won't take his med so sometimes it's a bit of a challenge around here. The meds won't stifle your creativity and might actually inspire it some since some of the meds can cause slight hallucinations. j/k But in all seriousness it's a good thing you got a diagnosis and can now take some actions to correct the imbalances in your life.
Oh, I just noticed the smilies are fixed. YEAH
