Reply to comment by yehhey in The philosophy of Beccaria is relevant to understand the current mental health crisis. The idealistic abstractions of the legal system are akin to the ones used in psychiatric discourse. by carrero33
Absolutely. But it's a lot harder on my body to deal with where I am without medication -- random bouts of insomnia, constant anxiety, bouts of depression where I don't exercise or eat right, and self-destructive patterns of drug use.
I do feel that I've spent enough time on each different med before stopping. The side effects in the first two weeks were enough to know that some weren't right for me.
And what I'm on now worked great on the lowest dose for a few months, then seemed less effective, so the dose was increased, and now it helps again. So I've been on the same medication for several months now.
