Do You Need All Those Pills? Depression & lessons I learned

I’m weeping for both of us. We’ve lost so much through negligence or incompetence of those who were supposed to help.
The time lost with our children is gone forever. Mine were children the last time I saw or heard from, they are in college now and still do not talk to me. I’m trying to reach out to them now.
My life’s mission until I die or it changes is to help those who suffer and their care providers not make the same mistakes.
I spent my career doing research to help people make money. I’m directing those skills to hopefully help individuals and their doctors do research on their diagnosis and the interactions between the meds they take. No one else is doing it I might as well give it a shot.
You are an inspiration, may your journey be filled with joy. You are loved by many.

I am so sorry for all you have been through. I agree with your statement about well meaning doctors, but western medicine has become all about pharmaceuticals… adding pills to treat the side effects of the first pills doesn’t make sense. No one, not even the best doctor, knows how any medicine will affect your unique body or mind… they sure do not know how any combination will work. Suicide rates have skyrocketed… could it possibly be in part to the side effects of the very drugs used to treat anxiety and depression? Have an adult daughter who had hallucinations with venlyfaxine … it’s not even listed as a potential side effect…. She really thought there were demons in her room… want to know what her doctor did when she said she couldn’t sleep anymore due to extreme fear and anxiety ??? Sent her to a sleep therapist!!! I finally got her to quit taking the medicine … however then the doctor treated her “ PTSD” front the hallucinations with yet a other medicine… and continued to add drugs to deal with the headaches and nausea from that med. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ (also note… this was all to treat vestibular migraines… she never had anxiety or depression!!!).
