Can you imagine you have taken 7 years to come off your meds and 3, 6, 9 months drug free you get the most awful withdrawals and the only relief is going back on them and time isn’t on your side due to age
These meds should of never been made IMO

It's amazing what we as a society are doing to our population, in the open, thru Psychopharmacology. Convenient outsourcing of complex problems onto side-effect laden meds.
