John,

Sorry, it was never meant as a personal attach, i am just a little sensitive
about this subject. See, i do not have the option of ever getting off my
medicine. also just think how many artists would have given us more work to
enjoy had they the oppourtunities we have now. Virginia Woolf, Sylvia
Plath, Van Gogh, the list goes on. We lost out on a lot of beautiful works
because the mental illness were not dealt with properly. i guess i just
dont want people to beleive meds are counter-productive to the creative
process
