Baby... I love you. Just remember, you know what you're doing and why you're doing it. That's all that matters. It is NOT a cop out, it is NOT stupid... it's just something to try, and especially when the problem has no real triggers -- it's not a bad place to start.
And for the record, anyone who'd like to challenge me on that -- I work with this stuff day in and day out, it is NOT a cop out when the problem is something within the wiring of the brain. You don't like it, feel free to disbelieve it. I don't believe in medicating for just every little problem. I barely believe in medication at all. However, just bear in mind that I've seen shit here that you haven't, that doesn't get taken into consideration in your disagreements with the idea. So frankly, anyone who disagrees can kiss my ass, and really had better not kick him while he's down any further - if I can accept it, so can anyone else. And if you DO kick him while he's down, you'll have me to deal with.
You really need to stop making him feel like this is the worst decision in the world... and just because you don't believe that medication is a good thing, doesn't mean it's your choice to make, or your place to make him feel like hell about it. I like you, you're a great friend to him... but at the moment, I'm not too thrilled about how you're making him feel about things. I'm not trying to pick a fight, I'm just being protective and seeing what having everyone doubt him is doing to him.
So, what I'm getting out of this is... you should live in a bubble, protect yourself from everything 'unhealthy' in the environment, and mental conditions and issues have absolutely no existence without a trigger. Totally untrue. That may be enough for you, it may even work for you. It's also a different siutation, and I'm sure quite convenient for you to believe that you didn't hurt him -- just serves as another reinforcement for you to believe you're right on this. Not everyone can live the way you want them to, or live up to the restrictions you're willing to place upon yourself. You think I haven't told him he's stronger than he gives himself credit for? You think I don't have faith in him? You don't see the shit that happens, with absolutely no consistent factors linking up. You don't watch him get upset and miserable without a single thing changing in his enivronment. You might not believe in any of the psychological facts behind it, but again I'm telling you, you don't have to. Just keep your emotional outbursts out

What does anything I've said have to do with my working in a pharmacy? Other than the fact that I've read the literature, understand what has been proven in laboratory studies and what hasn't, and am actually educated about the choice he's made for himself. I'm not seeing anything that you can find 'rich
