I'm just saying, they don't know what effect these drugs will have on us as we get much older. The drugs have been around for a while now, so they might have more info, but they still don't know how 40 or 50 years of taking them will affect a person.

I had what I term "breakdowns" on an almost monthly basis for years. I never attributed them to the psych meds I was on. But I haven't had a breakdown in several months, since reducing my meds significantly over those months. I have much less depression. Those breakdowns made me feel hopeless and I'd wail--not just cry, WAIL. I realized after a few months of med reduction, that I hadn't been going through that anymore. I am much happier now.
