However, the meds I was on that I eventually tapered off of were giving me a lousy quality of life. And I didn't see where there were any more options that would change the situation.
Anyway, I think we need to stop accusing people who have concerns about meds as being scientologists. That contributes nothing to the discussion and simply inflames the situation.
The issue of meds is a very tough issue. For some people, it is the right choice. But it isn't for others.
Also, these meds are not forever drugs and eventually poopout although I honestly don't know what the percentage is.
As always, the key is fully informed disclosure which sadly is hard to come by with alot of medical professionals. Another post.
