Many times I asked a doctor for help tapering off my cocktail of psych drugs. The usual answer was no because the doctor was afraid I would get depressed again. My family also said the same thing, how afraid they were I would become depressed again. My friends also told me without psych drugs they were afraid I would become very sick again. What I never understood, if these doctors, my former psychs, my friends, and my family were so afraid I would become sick, why was I the one forced to take these drugs? Why weren’t these people forced to take psych drugs since they were the ones who were out of control of their fears for me?
