"Yeah, and what's your point? I know this happens too. But you basically said,
that all people end up being worse off after using psychiatric medications.
Understand where I've been trying to get at in reaction to your original statement?
Plus the fact that the people who have the type of adverse events you mention are
likely in the minority, not the majority."
I was pointing out how silly your claim that you knew people who were doing well on an SSRI was.
Lets just discount that we both know people with opposite experiences ok?
Long term I believe the most people are worse of with meds yes. And I stand by that.
How do you know it is the minority?"This has more to do with the misuse of medication and not the medications themselves.
You can take small doses of lithium for the rest of your life and if anything it will be
good for you and your brain."What about diabetes from Zyprexa? Is a little bit of zyprexa good for you?
What about pancretis from an anti convulsant? Good for you?I can point out plenty of meds where serious negative consequences happen and no one understands why how or who they will happen to.
"Huxley, my cognitive functioning has improved since when I had a major mixed episode while I was drug free(it had been 8 months).
During this major mixed episode I was a cognitive wreck. Proper exercise, diet, pleasurable social activity, and being more stable on meds
have all contributed my cognition improving."Glad to hear it morgan. If you don't believe that meds can seriously impact on cognative functioning then I can recommend a few for you to try that might
change your mind.
"Dude, you would be better off if you could let some of these negative feelings go and take on a more relaxed, open, and objective position."
Dude, you are doing it again. You seem to have some very agressive negative feelings there. Maybe some therapy could help you.
Maybe you could take on a more relaxed open and objective position.You are the one that started a thread with 'Huxley' as the title attacking me and I am the one that needs to relax?
My 'negative feelings' are actually an opinion. People have different opinions. Deal with it.
Stick to the subject. You were doing well.
