I just wanted to share a great resource for those who might be doubting the effectiveness of psych drugs they are taking and those who want and are ready to taper themselves off meds. It's www.beyondmends.com The woman who created the website has tapered herself off drugs and has been using all kinds of alternative practices. Her approach to healing is what is now called a mind-body-spirit integration, though I don't like this expression because it's become such a cliche. Her website is loaded with all kinds of resources and information.

You can find other folks writing about alternative treatments on Mad In America - Science, Psychiatry & Community

I myself don't even want to touch this subject because I hate pharmaceutical companies and, especially, psych drugs so passionately that if I start ranting about it I will never stop.
