OH right lindsay clancy. so i do have a lot of sympathy for the overmedicated because i know firsthand how easily the side effects can eclipse the symptoms; e.g. the extreme sedative effect of seroquel accompanied by the tardive dyskinesia that made it impossible to sleep, and my symptoms of depression really only being replaced by the compulsive behaviors known to be caused by abilify. bonus points for how none of it actually impeded the suicidality it was prescribed to treat in the moments when it mattered. i canāt imagine raising three children at my lowest, so i can understand the immediacy and criticality of medical intervention in that case. but i also cannot imagine raising three children during the med check phase of it all either. for me the medications i was given did NOT help, but itās extremely stigmatizing to refuse them because youāre made to feel like youāre making a choice not to get better. and youāre told youāre supposed to trust your doctors who every month are giving you 15 2-pill bottles of āfree sampleā seroquel xr that were provided by pharmaceutical reps who make close to $200,000 a year to hand out mouse pads and coozies and branded prescription pads. itās dark and itās dangerous and so often itās a total fucking trap thatās hard to get out of when they tell you you have to take it for a month before you see if it will work and then you canāt stop taking it. you HAVE to taper. but you never really wanted or even needed to take it to start with and you never would have if youād have known how much fucking worse it would make everything.
