So you're basically implying that anyone taking these meds is stupid? Indirectly, at least. By that logic, since we're all patients trying to actually get better, does that make every single one of us idiots just for following a treatment plan? Or is the brain not actually a physical organ, meaning there’s no such thing as an actual disease or brain pathology? ☕
Robert Collins2 said:Look, you never even bothered to take them in the first place, so obviously they aren't doing anything for you. It’s not exactly rocket science, right? ☕
Look, I didn't even ask you that. If you're going to sit there and act like you know what you're talking about, then go ahead—lay it all out for me. Show me the actual evidence. Bring out the clinical studies that SCIENTIFICALLY back up those lies and those totally biased conclusions you're throwing around.
Robert Collins2 said:The thing is, "psychotropic drugs" is such a massive, vague umbrella term. You've got your anxiolytics, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, antidepressants, hypnotics, and the list goes on forever.
People have died taking those too, just like countless women who were on the Yasmin pill—so what does that prove? ☕
Does it mean they were stupid for not wanting to get pregnant? Or that me, and a whole bunch of other folks, were stupid for not wanting to end our own lives or spend the rest of our days stuck in a mental ward, so we chose to take that poison instead?
Every single medication is potentially lethal if you aren't dosing it right or taking it under strict medical supervision. Plus, if someone has an underlying condition or a physical anomaly they haven't caught yet that makes a specific drug a bad idea, then yeah, that's the end of the road...
Robert Collins2 said:Those aren't just side effects, they’re straight-up SYMPTOMS of actual depression, but hey, I guess you're clearly too "expert" to have a real conversation about this... 🙄
I mean, how would you even know if Advil is tested? Or Ibuprofen, or birth control pills, or penicillin, or even basic nasal spray? You could honestly sit here listing stuff until tomorrow and still not hit the mark... ☕

First off, every single medication goes through rigorous testing for years before it even hits the market, especially when we're talking about psychotropic drugs.
But hey, if this whole thing is just some massive fabrication and a bunch of treacherous lies, then are these next points also just the delusions of a crazy person—aka, me?
- Insomnia that dragged on for four straight months
- Dropping about 25 pounds
- Suicidal ideation, total apathy, shame, and compulsive behaviors
- Completely withdrawing from the world
- Losing coordination, fine motor skills, and basic logical brain function
- Serotonin syndrome and a suicide attempt
- Ending up in the ER where some butcher basically stitches up my forearms without any anesthesia
- Staying in the psych ward surrounded by semi-conscious patients and nurses who are convinced some little girl cut herself just because of some boy or whatever else
- And then having a rapid recovery thanks to those very same meds you're being so condescendingly dismissive of?
Alright, I'm listening... I'd love to hear your take on that... ☕
