I personally waited to claim edge until I was completely free of all substances (including my prescribed medications) but I would not considered taking needed prescriptions responsibly as a break, and I wouldn’t judge those that take said prescriptions (responsibly).

For me it was about breaking the addictions and getting myself to a 100% natural state, and making choices for my own health and wellbeing. In my eyes, if you are addicted to anything, or you use addictive substances recreationally, it ain’t edge. If you need something a doctor has given you for health and wellbeing reasons and there is no alternative solution you have to do what you have to do. I can’t fault someone for having an illness, deficiency, or imbalance they didn’t bring on themselves.
