How many people on Psych Meds

Just curious how many people are on some type of psychiatric drug? And what led to you going on the med? And how has it affected you (good, bad, explaniations)?

I probably should be but I've never went to a shrink or even a doctor for a long time. Most everyone that knows me says I'm unbalanced.

i am. s.a.d./depression. amazing, i can live outside of my bedroom now.

Moi.

i'm supposed to be, but am not currently do to rotten docs... long story.

reason: genetics are a bitch. am bipolar with schizophrenic family so i get a little psychosis thrown in now and then as well as a bit of other fun.

been on a few meds... not going to get long here, just hitting the highlights:

lithium is wonderous
effexor is the devil

ritalin count?

i am and have been for a few years...mainly to control my anger after my brother died.....it helped amazingly..its like night and day...i actually stopped taking it for a while but put myself back on them a few months ago....i think there are people on them that dont need them and others not on them that should be...i think some are embarassed to be on them...i dont think there is anything wrong with them if you really need them.

screw meds, just put on some porn or toss me some food and im happy and under control

Lithium is fun fun fun for the whole family!

I thought we were all on some kind of happy pills.....I take Lexapro.....I guess it helped...I havent tried to kill anyone lately..

yoooooooooooooooooooo

i refuse meds of any and all sorts, including advil/tylenol, etc. unless they are absolutely necessary (ie. pennicillin)
