I am of the same opinon.
I would never have taken meds if they wern't pushed on me by a drug happy dr who I trusted.I dont see why these drugs would be any better than the devils we know, exstacy, heroin, cocaine, speed.
Look at the long term results for those drugs. Why would our meds be any different? Just because they have good sounding names like anti-depresants, mood stabalisers and anti-psychotics?
I am in the process of trying to get off several drugs including an SSNI a AP and a mood stabliser.
Next to the withdrawal being absolute hell and close to impossible, I am very disconcerted with the idea of long term damage.
You only get one life, one body and one brain . It is not right to be subjected to this.
