My doctor has tried many anti-psychotics, but my system will not tolerate them, or many other kinds of meds. I take Xanax for the anxiety, but I'm on my own for the most part. That's why I went looking for a support group. I have already read everything I could find about mental illnesses, and I am always looking or updates, so I'm not lacking in information, I just need a kind soul to talk to. Perhaps to help me find some perspective.
