Meds can be very useful. I don't take them daily but when things are really bad I'm glad they are there.
I don't really agree with the premise of this post because I just have not seen "the only people left on babble are telling you meds are bad..." Sorry, I just haven't seen that.
And besides which, they are bad. They are also good. It isn't one or the other. It's both. It depends more on how the patient manages the med than it does the actual med, imo
I see a lot of support for one another here and a lot of sharing of ideas. That's a cool thing I think. There will always be opinions from the opposite side of the spectrum no matter what walk of life we're talking about. That's normal and human. The wider the picture we can see, the better, imo. So I welcome opposing viewpoints. It helps to strengthen my own or to understand where someone else is coming from.
I've been coming to psychobabble for 15 years or so, something like that. Long time. Comparing pbabble today to pbabble back then, I think back then there were more 'hardcore' patients, fewer 'garden variety' patients, and there were always a handful of 'expert patients' who really knew their stuff. But that's just my perception and could be wrong. Basically I do not think pbabble has changed at all over the years other than it being a little bit less 'heavy duty' today than it used to be. But still pretty much the same and by far best psych forum on the web.
