My wife is prescribed Celexa, and actually has been for several years. She has responded very well to it, and at pretty low doses. (Like, 10 milligrams of it.) We've both been all over the place with antianxiety/antidepressant medications, I've even gone so far as to subject myself to guinea pig status trying out experimental medications for a research group. Some of them, can't remember names, were insanely powerful substances and rendered me unconscious before I ever even knew what hit me. I was left feeling almost hungover the next day, and completely and utterly numb mentally. The affliction is terrible in itself, and so much worse when the prescribed medication only exacerbates the problem.

MMJ isn't a cure-all for many of these disorders, but it is a damn fine blessing to have... especially when so many of these "Doctor recommended, FDA approved" medications leave you feeling worse than you were before. I'm trying to stay optimistic that politicians will begin to see the positive effects its use is having in so many peoples lives, and maybe the winds of change will finally start to blow. They'll have to realize sooner or later that the prescription of all these chemical drugs isn't making society that much happier. One day...
