i sometimes wonder if i should see about a slow dosage reduction, maybe one day a transition off...if not off psych drugs completely, then off onto less toxic options, even if that leaves me with more "symptoms." thing is...

these drugs are -very- widely used in foster homes, juvenile facilities, jails, prisons, nursing homes, and...of course..mental hospitals, public and private alike. and...

there's some research that shows that the lower status one is, the more likely one is to be prescribed neuroleptics, and then at higher doses, too. so, an affluent white man might end up on a low dose or none at all...an impoverished, non-white, disabled woman might end up on involuntary injections of Haldol at a high dose.

not that the drugs are evil or psych people are all out to other people, but...the tranquilizers are also used for Oppositional Defiant Disorder, severe personality disorders, and...in anaesthesia cocktails, to reduce nausea and make the sedatives and pain killers work better, at lower doses...

question for --me, myself, and I-- (LOL) is: do I want to be on such a drug/"medicine" indefinitely? and im kinda thinking...nah, not so much...
