Am I able to live without drugs (not counting quality of life) since I am not disturbed or unwell in a significant way? Did I just have it so easy to find that I psychiatry isn't helpful, but the opposite? Many have pointed that out to me. Is thinking of getting back to drugs

Whatever you decide please research. almost no drug used for any diagnostic in the DSM-5 that does not have side effects if you have comorbidities. My oncologist discovered that Fluoxetine dropped my absolute neutrophil count to 645 which is severe and deadly immunosuppression

Unfortunately, this is from a point of how they already harmed me. Besides chronic lifelong digestive issues that were solved by an acute treatment with lactulose syrup and simple dietary changes, I was a perfectly healthy teenager before I was put on psych drugs.

Now, I'm on a quest to heal from it, and find help far away from it.

Thank you for the warning though, I am a bit scatter brained, so I forgot I wrote a whole thread explaining things. They could quite possibly make things even worse and more complicated in the long run, worse than how I've been after stopping them abruptly.

You're starting to give me chills my dear that stopping abruptly is also very dangerous and given the class such as benzodiazepines deadly if used for a longer. Of time then they should be like the forty years I've been on them. Little yellow pill! Valley of the Dolls much?

I was taken off benzos by my doctors, and was never on them for a long time, and it's one good thing, I guess. But, I stopped taking SNRI and antipsychotic. The latter in October 2020, and the other one in December same year. It was hell, weird hell, now it's different, yet

Just yesterday there was a big article about how are snris are the miracle for the new generation of antidepressants that are miraculous as if. I don't believe any of these things work Beyond doping a patient so much that we can't function

I think it's for the opposite purpose, to dope us so we can function perfectly, but on a complete autopilot. Devoid of anything inside of us, there to be a perfect citizen of the industrial order. SNRI I was on is prescribed for dampening everything, emotions and physical pain

(for example, fibromyalgia). It does its purpose quite well. Only you lose any sense of pleasure, you don't see any substance anywhere, everything is just boring and living feels like a tedious labor. And people report even skipping a dose for 2 hours gives them brain zaps.
