Maybe some people here can relate to this:
The thing i hate the most about psychiatric
drugs (and there are the side effects, the
fear of overdose/toxicity, the uncertainty)
is the lack of continuity or fluidity they
cause in life. You really can't tell how
you will feel from one moment to the next,
or one day to another, because of chemical
variables i guess.I find this the hardest thing to deal with;
i hate carrying water with me for example so
i can take the drugs; i hate splitting the
pills so i don't get slammered, i hate not
being able to have a glass of wine without
worrying about the effects; and interacting
with people or having self confidence in
tricky situations is really tough. I find
this has necessitated some self-isolation.
Drugs restrict my life, and the more drugs
you take, the greater the interaction effects.
It's hard to be a social animal under these
circumstances.Well, thanks for listening to me whine.
