Except for rare situations, antidepressants should only be used short term, followed by clinically monitored withdrawal. Long term kneejerk use has literally created a passive, hypocritical society of zombies unable to feel anything other than their own immediate desires, who erupt with murderous rage the moment they are thwarted in the smallest thing. For this reason, the street name for antidepressants are “soul suckers.”
These clinical aspects also, however, perfectly explain liberal behavior - and virtually all liberals are on antidepressants.
This guy at work just missed his meds one day and got fired. Modern “Meds” are truly mind altering in a bad way.
I agree. I tried them, and I hated the way I felt on them. They make you not give a damn more than they make you happy, and if modern society gives a damn a little less than it does already, we’re all in trouble. I know a few people who are on both anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants, and they’re these devil may care, shallow, platitude spouting fluff heads, who don’t give a tinker’s damn about personal responsibility in their life anymore. Their life’s not any less screwed up, it just doesn’t bother them anymore.
My SIL is addicted to Zanax. She freaks out if she thinks she may have to go one day without. 30+ years of the stuff, non stop.
Irony is that my wife has shown her the literature on physical side effects from long term addiction. And she suffers from a bunch of them. She refuses to believe that all these other problems can be tied to the Zanax, she is convinced she will literally die without the drug.
Sad thing is, her life totally sucks (unnecessarily, pretty much all of her own doing). A month in her shoes and I’d be suicidal. But she refuses to do anything for herself, just give me my Zanax and leave me alone. It’s depressing just being around her.
