I have a friend who is on I think 5 psych meds, but then he is on 2 narcotic pain killers as well and then different heart meds and diabetes meds and meds to counteract side effects. About 40 pills a day. I really don't get why it is so "good" to drug someone down to the point where they can't take care of themselves. Most of his "illness" is med side effects. Docs seems to think lifestyle changes are not necessary, just add more meds.

He got one med that made him have bad thoughts and pain and instead of looking into that, wham! antipsychotic and pain meds.
