Interesting comment on anxiety/depression meds from a mental health podcast host.

"At first, I expected the medication to make me a more proactive, productive person. Instead, I'm still a piece of shit. I just don't hate myself so much."

1. My daughter tried several and said they don't help enough to put the toxin in your body.

2. That's how I feel about them.

I will say about 30 yrs ago Zoloft helped me for awhile but doesn’t seem to stay working very long.

3. My sis said Zoloft gave her horrific nightmares

She had to stop taking it after a few weeks

4. None of the pills ever worked for me.

I just recently got this thing called a Fisher Wallace device that apparently massages your brain electrical activity. In conjunction with hypnosis, not in person, recordings, I actually think it's working.

8. I wonder what else this person is doing for their recovery

It sounds like he expected medication to fix everything. Medication by itself is not going to stop you from feeling like a piece of shit.

9. In fact, it just made me feel like a piece of shit for different reasons. (n/t)
