For all of the hype about normalizing mental health, and the social media promotions, it will be generations before no stigma is attached, and it will always exist. This was done to us through mismanaged prescriptions (is anyone on here withdrawing from effexor they got illegally?) and doctors who play the odds of 1 in 3 people having no or minimal problems with the side effects. It works for many people and some can stop taking it easily. Back to my point - explaining about this is time consuming and complex. I feel like I want people to understand I am not nuts, but no one has time to either listen to me explain, or research on their own. No one especially wants to listen to a person who in their mind is nuts, crazy or, in the least, unstable.
