Could you clarify as to if the people addicted to psychotropic drugs have or have not taken the drugs as prescribed or not in the proper dosage?
> LouWho the hell says everyone on psychiatric drugs are addicted. I stopped Zoloft 3 years ago without any problems. I didn't stop because I had any issues with it, I was fine actually, I just wanted to see what it was like to be off a medication I was on for 7 years. I believed I was better and was never going to take a medication again. I felt fine for a few months, mentally and physiologically. At about five months, the perfect storm of events and circumstances sent me into a very damaging and horrific major mixed episode. One of the components of this perfect storm was that I was NOT on any medication. If I had been on Zoloft or something else like it that was working well with ZERO side effects(at least no bad ones), I am positive I would not have had such a terrible mixed episode and I would not have ended up in the hospital. And do NOT start thinking that medication had screwed my brain up and that was why I had a mixed episode. I had a mixed episode when I was 22, before I had ever taken any medication in my life. I am bipolar. I did not know that at 22 or 34, but after that last awful mixed episode, I was diagnosed and realized the importance of being on medication that was helping is some way to prevent severe episodes that WILL do more damage in many ways than most medications can do.
Lou, I really think you are a bit out of line bro. I probably should not read your messages anymore. I will tell you right now-I know someone is going to give me a warning or kick me outa here for a week or more-you should NOT continue to be allowed to post your anti-drug propaganda on this board. This is a place where people come to support other people. You simply have a very selfish personal agenda. I do think you want to warn people and make an impact, but there is a selfish aspect to your posting here, I have no doubt. Sh*t, I will admit that some of my posts are made out of my own selfish needs. Dude, you gotta see how you really are not helping anyone here. I see your posts as inflammatory. I understand the post I am making is a bit inflammatory. I guess I'm just pissed off and I'm tired of you coming on here and not offering any support, just telling people that they are harming themselves for taking medications.
Dr. Bob, this is b*llsh*t. I know your are going to come here and tell me the usual. I know what I said may have been somewhat hurtful, you don't have to tell me. I also will not take it personally when you give me a warning or block me for however long. So you don't have to tell me that either. I keep hearing that psycho-babble is not what it used to be, maybe you should take a hard look at the way this site is run and try to make some changes. I'm kinda getting tired of everyone having to walk on eggshells and be so damn PC about everything. I believe there should be rules and I do not think people should be able to come on here and be flat out mean or purposefully malicious. But, I do think people should be able to express their feelings and opinions here, as long as they make a point to communicate it without malice.
See you all whenever!
Morgan
