The culture and society as a whole are consuming far too many drugs to deal with issues that could be solved with a reasonable diet and exercise and other lifestyle choices.
Many older drugs are still being used and are very safe.
Seems like the drugs being pumped out today come with horrendous side effects that really make you question the value of taking them at all.
If there are other older, safer drugs, I am not aware of them, but I'm to the point where if someone doesn't like me for the way I look, bad on them, it's their problem, not mine. But I got the peace of mind knowing I'm not pumping my body full of that junk anymore.
