Medication and nothing else.

Well, thanks for that.. I know you perceive me as not worth it.

I can't take the meds but that doesn't matter, right?

(This is not about anyone on pc)

Hi Fuzzy,

Have you tried anything else aside from medication, such as therapy or healthy activities such as exercise?

I take an antidepressant and frankly, I feel like exercise improves my mood more than the antidepressant...plus, exercise doesn't come with a bunch of potentially negative side effects. Even moving for as little as 2 minutes starts to bring health benefits, both physically and mentally.

"Medication and nothing else." In other words they said, "According to our standardised criteria and your administrative status, we can offer you medications but no other form of treatment." The fact you are allergic to what they can offer does not appear on their forms or flowcharts of "care", yes?

Fuzzy I really wish I could see your "doctors" they could learn a valuable lesson from me , when I say allergic I am talking fatally allergic all psychotropic except Mirtazapine , most paralytic and anesthetic agents as well as about 35,000 other drugs , years ago I when it first came out I took Doxepin for about two weeks ,then my body said bull**** to this ,6 months in ICU on every form of life support they have I went thru cascade multiple organ failure, a doctor thought oh it might have been a freak of nature let's try a really small dose I had a stroke .my medical records would put the fear of God into these idiots , try and treat one thing and 2 others get unhappy , it literally takes a bunch of Emergency doctors , Neurologists, Pharmacist and a couple of Pharmacologists along with a poison control specialist to come up with something that will treat me and not kill me or set off other diseases, something as a simple as Prilosec has tried to kill me. I normally feel sorry for doctors having to do this, but man it would it be my honor to inflict myself on yours, they need to learn throwing drugs at someone and seeing if one sticks and calling it done is just as wrong as throwing there hands up at a patient who is allergic , it just bothers me to the core that these people can come up with no answer and call it good, they are supposed to be experts and yet nothing is there best option , I just can't accept that as even being ethical what happened to "protect my patient from all harm and injustice" ,there treatment answer( as in none) is injustice to my opinion all by itself .
