The answer is: No. To focus on brain changing chemicals as the one thing to be afraid of and the one thing determining the success our failures of our lifes is completely off the mark. This is victimization of the self, putting oneself at the center of the world as somebody urgently needing help, without acknowledging that 'help' can hardly be the name given to a kind of tunnel-focusing on just one variable in a myriad of possible factors that contribute to one's misery or joy.
The focus should, of course, be on Christ, as any Sunday school teacher could have told you, and it's only in the light shining through such a sound centering of the life that things like brain-damaging chemicals, nuclear wars, aliens looking for contact, hideous cruelties, good people having bad luck, bad Hollywood movies etc. etc. can more calmly be evaluated and judged.
Current meds: clomipramine 225mg, fluvoxamine (Luvox) 50mg, methylphenidate 30-90mg, flupentixol 1mg. PRN: oxazepam 5-20mg or other benzo's.
