I was exagerating to make a point. My life wasn't a cup of tea. HOwever, it was manageable. Now, I have to stay in bed half the time because these "nonaddictive" meds have screwed up my brain so bad. Look, I get the fact that these meds are lifesavers for many. I truly do believe that they harm as many as they help, sometimes in a catastrophic fashion. Perhaps my zeal is matched by someone who has had a good experience with ADs and APs. Nonetheless, I think they are overprescribed and dangerous. Furthermore, the medical community and the public needs a much greater education on these meds that goes beyond propoganda spewed by the pharmaceutical industry. There has to be a good middle-ground here.
