Very true. I’ve made some wrong choices with psych meds (Zyprexa with the weight gain for one - but they had already put me on Seroquel which had caused massive weight gain to begin with so it didn’t do too much more damage) but I think it’s easier to deal with when it’s you making the choices and taking the risks with the side effects and choosing what you will and won’t accept.
