Good post. I am a bit like this... (for me though the side effects are intolerable) Sorry about the late reply. I try to fight them respectfully although they (irl) are not respectful to me. Which makes it harder... I was at one time on too high a dose of meds. And this caused me harm. (they wouldn't agree)... I think there are too many wrong assumptions made by some providers. Too little listening, too many meds (for some anyway) ''Medication and nothing else''... that is what I was told by one provider, who I had paid for. Who with any intelligence or self esteem would accept that? Sorry if this sounds ''arrogant''... that sort of stuff disgusts me. The provider (a ''senior clinician'') had said that without an ounce of empathy... Is it any wonder I don't trust them... Rhetorical question.

I prefer a peaceful protest....
