In reply to Seems Like It's Anti-Med Week Anyone Want To Post, posted by Phillipa on January 19, 2007, at 12:38:23
This is a sweet and sour subject for me. I am anti-meds in the sense that I wish I could be in satisfactory condition without them. Also because side effects are so disabling until you find the right drug, which can takes years. And when the right drug is found, it may not work completely. Even if it does, it may not continue to work going forward. So it's hard to be pro-drugs with all this stuff.
I've tried drug-free periods and they are extremely taxing in terms of physical deterioration and mental deterioration. I just slowly get worse and worse. So in that sense I am pro-drugs.
I can't believe it, but I am actually missing that totally numbed out feeling of paxil or zoloft. At least that was considerably better than the depression and nervousness I am drowning in right now.
