if you had diabetes would you not take insulin?
if you had a headache would you take a pain relief tablet?
if you had a blood clot would you take the thinning agent to stop it travelling and causing chaos?
why is a physical illness any different to a psychiatric illness? if there are meds out there herbal or not that can help then why not try them? see if they help! thats all any of us can do keep trying!i wasn't offended by the term "pill popper" but i can see why others are! when i took illegal drugs...i was a pill popper...but just because i take an anti-depressant does not make me a pill popper! i find it to be a derogatory comment to make.
it may be slang...but then again so are so many words that i would never dream of calling anyone! yank, honkey, n**ger!!!!instead of preaching so loudly to everyone and pretty much telling them what to do with thier lives, why not just put across your point of view...whats worked well for you...instead of insulting people and telling them that they are wrong!
just mho
