70 percent of Americans are taking prescription medications. More than half take two. I've always been wary of psychiatric medications as i've been told by a friend (26 years ago) that they only scratched the surface on the human mind.
Has there been much progress? I hear about deaths from xanax, addictions, withdrawals, side effects. Anyone here tried them, and what's your experience?

Tried the xanax recreationally. Rather medicate with alc and laughy leaf. My mom is on the the xanax roller coaster. She can go through some serious mood swings.

My dad battled depression for several years before finding the right combination of drugs. In his case the only negative effects he's had to deal with is some slight tremors in his hands. His change in mood has been incredible. He's far more outgoing and just happier in general.
I'm highly skeptical of folks who make blanket statements about the pros/cons of any kind of medication.

Big Pharma, doctors, and health insurance are all in cahoots with each other. Profits before people...the American way!

I also wonder with changes in our diet and environment adding onto the increase in medications.

Around 2007, I had some cough in my throat and noticed a change in my appetite. I went to the doctor and he said I had acid reflux. I took nexium for 4 days which made me feel like shit that I couldn't take any more. Fuck that guy.
I changed my diet which made all the difference.
