MDJunction to me

mobey"MDJunction has become a lifeline to my recovery. I use this site as a daily coping tool where i can share my thoughts,my fears and ask ways to cope with living life with a illness. I also found new friends here and they have restore my faith in humanity. People everywhere come here to share same problems or solutions to problems we encounter in our lives. MDjunction is a wonderful site and has help not only myself but also my family and friends. I recommend this site to anyone who thinks they are alone dealing with an illness and also to those who have love ones who suffer from illnesses. I will keep spreading the word about MDJunction to organizations who deals with illnesses that would benefit having MDjunction as a support system.Bottom line is.. I found myself again through MDJunction" (mobey)

Would love to start some type of support group for those in the area as I have been unsuccessful at finding much. I am actually in Hutto, but its pretty close to Austin - Maybe even folks withing a 2 hour radius?

If anyone is interested please let me know, I think it would help a lot to have a support group to meet with say once a month?

I think 10 People would be a good start Sideways

Zoloft 200mg
Wellbutrin 300mg
Lithium 600mg
Clonazepam 0.5mg
Adderal 20mg

That's a good idea. Especially if you can meet some people from here. I live in California, but if I lived closer, I'd be up for it for sure. I wish you luck!
