I've never had such a weird experience in my whole life. I know many are helped by meds, but you'd think there would be a better way than to have horrible things happen like brain zaps, hospitalizations, sleep-eating, brain freeze, agitation, feeling suicidal and bad upset stomachs!!! I hope most people do NOT suffer from their meds. I wish pdocs wouldn't prescribe more and more drugs to counteract the others. I have a feeling I'm not going to stick with the meds.
I think that it really depends on the pdoc. I am on pdoc #6 in 6.5 years and this one finally seems to get it and isn't pushing more and more meds. All of the ones I have had before kept pushing more meds. At one point, I was on like 12 meds and almost died from it
