Of course its not necessary but I would never take anything that I didn't understand any better than "my doctor told me to take it"
I like to know what I'm putting in my body, not just why.

Yes, but I still like pointing out when crazy people are being crazy.

Have any of you successfully diagnosed yourself?

Don't listen to your family. They may not be wrong but there's a huge likelihood that they are. Same goes for self diagnosis. You can do it and you may be right but at least go to a doctor for a "second opinion" - anyway, even if people can self-diagnose successfully, what then? Do you go to a doctor and say "I need some schizo meds because I've determined that I am paranoid schizophrenic"?

Benzodiazepines work. Of course, talk to a doctor before you go to the black market.
If you can't or won't do that then exercise vigorously and meditate and eat healthy foods and such.
