Alright, now I have to put my foot down.
There is no better option than talking to one’s refrigerator in Deutsch!
I cannot let that statement stand, Lumberjack!
But seriously, I am a former pill addict, Xanax was the drug. I am very leery of how effectively pills change how the body functions, and the danger with them occurs once the pills stop being taken.
It is at that point one realizes that the body has become dependent on the pills, and this can happen very easily with anti-depressants, as prolonged use causes the brain to stop naturally producing the supplied drug or hormone.
Anti-depressants can actually become pro-depressants in a manner similar to how anti-anxiety meds can become pro-anxiety meds over the long term.
I’ve got bipolar disorder family members who take lithium to keep from literally going crazy, I’m not taking about happy pills here.
