In that case apologies. There are a lot of pro-drug people on this site. Since medication and therapy are the "go-to" treatment if that doesn't work then it feels like one is sunk.

I don't really want to name what AD's I was on. Anyway, if you read here people are constantly switching drugs and messing with dosage.

For some people ADs cause serious agitation. That has been my case because I have depression and anxiety. It could be that messing with serotonin levels is bad for anxiety.

In fact, some people who go on drugs for depression end up becoming bipolar. This is not uncommon.

It seems to me that the medical establishment is going to 100% advocate taking ADs so we have to be our own advocate.

Again, apologies for being kind of mean but I am in a mean mood today. Sorry.
