THIS is what you said. You aren't really saying that people who take even ONE single Zoloft or Welbutrin forget their names or how to do simple things like use the remote.
THAT is ignorant and ridiculous.
No I did not and am not saying that. I was using hyperbole to make a point. I said I wouldn't take a single dose of those pharmaceutical psychotropics and I wouldn't. Taking one dose implies that I would be starting a regimen of them. Having seen their effects on several people and having heard the same thing from numerous people who have come to me for health care advice and having taking my fathers opinion of the psychiatric field to heart I'd rather spend the rest of my life depressed than submit to that chemo-lobotomy.
Medicine isn't what it used to be. I know of one doc who was handing out Prozac to help his patients quit smoking. It worked. They didn't care about smoking anymore. Unfortunately they didn't care about anything else either. Work, shopping, watching their kids. I heard this story from one of his 'patients'. He said his wife put an end to it when he responded to her desire to make love with "I don't care.". If the nature of the drugs effect is so predictable that a doctor can assure his patients that they will stop smoking because they won't care one way or the other about smoking, and apparently anything else, then that indicates it is not an effect isolated to specific individuals.
Why do people need a drug for every emotion to get through life now? This wasn't the case for centuries prior. I recently heard a radio ad looking for participants in a drug trial at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver. They were looking for people who "felt uncomfortable in social situations". Psychopharmaceuticals to the rescue! Now you too can feel like the prom queen. You don't need to develop social skills or a positive self image just pop a pill.
