I've spent the past 14 months getting off of medications and have come to realize that a great deal of my 'symptoms' included in my diagnosis were caused by medications. I wish the psychiatrist I was seeing had been more cautious, restrictive, judicious; had exercised a moderate and scientific approach to my treatment. Instead I got drugs, more drugs, then different drugs, and if a cocktail placed me in a state of mind short of rampant madness it was marked as success. Count yourself fortunate to be under the care of a practitioner less inclined to pummel your mind and body into submission via psychotropic agents.
