Sorry, I don't mean to second-guess your choices. There's clearly some very interesting issues here, and my experience is as someone who never felt they had any serious issues with mental health. But I do think that we have this culture where everyone is expected to be OK all the time. Do you worry at all that your son cues in to his parents relationship with the drug? I mean, say it was me, and I knew my parents took a pill so that they could "have a good day" but they didn't give me the have-a-good-day pill. I would think (perhaps subconsciously) that if I was having a bad day the drug could have made it into a good one. Having a bad day would be medical now, a reason to feel like you're sick or broken.
