Weedhound,

Not trying to start any beef with you, I like reading your posts and seeing your grows, you obviously are a good person, but I can't help but feel a little offended by your posts in this thread. I totally agree antidepressants are very helpful for some people, and that chemical imbalances do exist. I don't see how Grins was saying anything offensive directed at you, or anyone in general. In fact I think he was right that a lot of people are being overmedicated. Not EVERYONE. Of course people really need medication and it makes a big difference for them. If this guy offended you in some other thread or something, that would make sense, but it seems like he's just giving his thoughts, and you really are out to get him.

I have a resentment towards medication because when I was 16, my parents forced my to start taking Paxil because they thought I was depressed. Actually my behaviour was from being dumped by my girlfriend at the time. After I started taking the Paxil, I got sleeping problems, couldn't focus in school and started failing my classes, became depressed, and tried to kill myself. Then I did an involuntary stint in the mental hospital.

I understand that you need your medicine, and I believe you, I know a lot of people who can't be normal, functional people without their meds. They definitely can be a positive and important part in your life. But prescription meds can fuck up your life, and they definitely did it to me, so don't jump all over everyone. I'm glad they work for you, they certainly didn't for me. I feel like I was used as a guinea pig in my teens, but no hard feelings, my parents and the doctors didn't know any better at the time.

Now here's to us all getting along! :jointsmile: We all can agree on one type of medicine...
