"Taking medicine and then being a completely different person is scary" It's easier to list the meds Ian hasn't taken, then the ones he has over his recovery journey! He has a long history managing an eating disorder, mood & sleep disturbance. Now in a solid recovery place, he shares how meds were essential at times, how to use genetic testing to gauge efficacy, when treatment overshadows meds, going to your baseline and trusting yourself (sometimes) even without chemical support!
