I was on antipsychotics and a bunch of other psychiatric drugs.Every time i asked the doctors if i could taper down to quit, they always rejected my question. "Better keep taking it just to be safe, it's too early etc". Eventually i was able to quit them on my own, it was hell but i made it through. And i'm doing much better now than when i was on them. Not one doctor or other person bothered to tell me about the severe side effects, or how horrible the withdrawals are from these drugs. The truth is that they're clueless about it. It makes me angry just thinking about it. They should only be used during acute phases. And tapered down as soon as possible. There will be cases where people with very severe mental health problems would be better off taking them for more extended periods or even life. But i'd say more than 75% of the patients I've met would be better off without them. Instead They're being prescribed more and more drugs, mostly to counteract the side effects of the other drugs. It's fucking ridiculous how these "professional" people operate.

Yup; so much easier 2 medic8 than communic8. BTW; psych meds r simply "chemical pacifiers" (i.e.: designed 2 silence u when getting abused, bullied, & harassed by other people (especially those deemed as "authority figures").

True, but the term "side effects" is a marketing term meant to minimize THE OTHER EFFECTS of the drug, AS IF "UNINTENDED." SIDE EFFECTS = KNOWN EFFECTS. This means if death is one on a list of "side effects," or other serious harm, you should know you are making a trade-off with risks.

Rational thought comes from a fully functioning brain. I as a diagnosed "schizophrenic" do not take drugs. Does the psychiatrist and the family fear the future, fear the future actions of a schizophrenic? Yes they do. To drug the schizophrenic in the present, to prevent the possible bad future is not medicine or justifiable.

We (the people with mental illnes ) pay a high price. Because we have to take the meds. they bring hurendous side effect. The biggest one for me is not being able to stay motivated. Or even to start a task to begin with. Anti psycotics when being used properly block. 80/90 procent of the dopamine D2 receptor also serotonine. This causes the patient to feel depressed as to being not motivated.

You asked "How about chronic psychotic illnesses?" how do you distinguish being/thinking "psychotic" from being/thinking stupid? Some people are just plain stupid and are given the diagnosis of "psychotic". Stupid people might need to be controlled and how do you control them? You can't use (visible) ropes and chains today, it has to be invisible. Children who are supposed to learn to control themselves as they grow and mature are instead getting drugs today for their "mental illness". What will happen to them when they become adults? I predict there will not be enough qualified watchers to watch over the "mentally ill".

Chronic psychotic patients in studies do better without antipsychotics

SOWK 637

The first mistake is believing someone who wants me to take antipsychotics actually cares about me.

The reason why patients do better off anti-psychotics is not because anti-psychotics aren't useful. I believe they have some use in some cases. In *REAL* cases. But more than likely, many of these people never had a problem severe enough to warrant drug intervention. The problem is without drug intervention, the psychiatrist is left without a job. He does not have the same in-depth training in psychology that a PhD in psychology has. Indeed he may not even have the same level of training that an MS in Psychology has. He may not have the same level of training as a BS in Psychology has. So are you going to give up your $200,000 - $400,000 income when your daily job is to listen for 5 - 15 min and write a script for the latest anti-psychotic?
