Scott,Why the sarcasm as Garnett raised perfectly legitimate points and wasn't disrespectful to you?
So are you saying that psych meds are completely side effect free and cause no problems? I don't think you are but that is the way you are coming across.
By the way, when I thought that psych meds were wonderful, anybody who wrote posts like the ones I write on these board would incur my wrath. I wouldn't respond unless I was respectful but silently, I seethed. I just didn't want to believe that my beloved psych meds could be the source of my problems.
Even when I connected the use of Remeron to my hearing loss, I still didn't taper right away as that is how spellbound these meds had me. It was only when I started tapering that I realized how wrong I was.
Anyway, as one who always respected your points of view even though I vehemently disagree with you, I am disappointed in this type of post.

I was obsessed with wanting to experience the side effects of these drugs that we have all come to know and love. I proceeded to fool the entire diagnostic team at Columbia University by feigning ultra-rapid-cycling bipolar disorder just to get my hands on some. Thank God I got what I wanted from these professionals. I couldn't have gotten sick without them.
