I mean it as far as for myself, I used to be militantly against psych drug all together, still am to an extent, but my human growth and development teacher simply told me, “these medications save lives.” That changed my view and I wholeheartedly agree now. Still don’t trust them as a primary means of care at all, but yeah I’m for them if they’re absolutely needed. A lot of my issue is how the field isn’t very... scientific in its method. Well trial and error is actually, but you know what I mean. There’s not an objective dosage criteria for any individual patient. Let’s try this and see how it works seems unethical to me when you see the effects of withdrawal medications like effexor had on my ex.
I’ve written my own prescription for adderall and Wellbutrin through carefully worded suggestions because I’m absolutely convinced I’m as capable as a MD in medicating the limited problems I have, including hrt. Breaking news: Dunning Kruger effect and all that but I think I’m right still.
