Not only has my brain been made less responsive to medications. It has also been made less responsive to input from the outside world. I don't like being able to keep my eyes closed while I'm driving and feel as much need to open them as I would be if I were sitting on my couch. My pupils don't react to light and dark. My emotions (lack of) don't respond to the world around me.
When a Med like an ssri or a direct agonist puts your neurotransmitter systems in overdrive, this can sometime lead to them just giving out like an overloaded fuse. That seems the case with me. Its not much different than what we all know about antibiotics and how they can make the immune system less responsive to a virus on the attack.
I looked at it the other way around when I started meds in 2005. I thought the future had arrived and that there were immense amounts of knowledge behind psychiatric meds and that they held so much promise. I didn't understand why some were nervous about psychiatry. I figured, heck, if I don't like the Med, I just stop taking it and all will be well.
