I have a few questions for those who feel they need meds, dont take these as an attack. It is just the same questions I have asked myself over the last couple of months and would be interested to see how others rationalise it.
Do you feel that you are better off or worse than before you were taking meds?
Do you feel that your illness would have gotten better or worse without meds?
What do you think about the studies showing that SSRIs are no better than placebos?
Do you think it is possible that meds can actually be the cause of a problem and actually make your illness worse?
Do you think that doctors have diagnosed you on the side effects or withdrawals of other drugs, i.e an AD makes you agitated so they see that as bipolar.
Do you feel disheartened by doctors who seem to know nothing about your condition and nothing about the medication they prescribe to you?
Thanks for anyone who answers.
