In reply to Why do you take these drugs?, posted by Ron Jones on October 17, 2003, at 13:33:51
Hi Ron, I think ANY medication wreaks some *havoc* on our brain cells, just to name a few on our precious body.
I just made a statement to my pdoc and my therapist that 'medication *for me* has done its job, it's done everything it's going to do. That is the choice *I* make. It's now time to start working, talking, and healing.
So, my mother is actually going to one of my sessions next week with me, since we both have some issues regarding our relationship. No medication can do that.
For *me*, medication has helped me to work better in therapy lately, and has enabled me to what I need to do.
Just *my* 2 cents worth...
You have raised some GREAT questions, I think I need to think about them some more:-)
Best wishes.
> Are they not just hell on the brain cells?Has there method of action been proven.After 30 years no one knows what lithium does to stop mania.Do they not cause bad side effects.No one knows the cause of mental illness or the cure.They cure nothing.SSRI drugs cause massive disruptions in the normal brain .If they are good for you then why are they not good for normal brains?if they harm normal brains then why do they not harm yours?What will long term use do to your brain.Why do they just stop working?
