Happy Pills!

Do you take {Happy Pills}?
As the years have went by do you need to increase them?
How far will you go, how many milligrams will you max out at?
As fortunate as we are to have these mood altering drugs available, do you realize it is not a free ride. They have side effects, you become immune and need to increase dosage.

Have you read the statistics? They work, they elevate you mood, increase you coping abilities.
They work with about 65% success rate, for a while until you need to increase them again.
Or change to a heavy medicine.
Now for the real truth. Excersise works 100% of the time. Once you make it up to walking 1 hour per day everyday. You will have the same or better results. Add in 15 minutes of sunlight or 2000 milligrams of Vit D and you will see a huge difference in your attitude.

Don't tell me you don't have time to walk one hour per day. How many hours do you watch tv, if nothing else walk in front of the tv while watching your favorite program.
Of course if you do that you will miss the nature scene while walking outside.

So find away to listen to you body and fix what needs to be fixed, but if you need medicines find out why and if you can improve the symptons so you at least get to take the minimum amoutn not keep adding more and more. Just like welfare medicine is suppose to be there to help you recover not a replacement for good, clean living.
