What are the political implications of a majority of adult westeners being on either SSRIs, benzodiazepines, or ADHD stimulants? Anyone have personal experiences?

Majority?

I’m on meds. It sucks. My parents made me take them years ago and now I have to titrate slowly off of them lest I face withdrawal. I’m better now and the meds did absolutely nothing. My parents were retards who got grifted

Is it the majority? There are a lot but I don't know numbers. Looks more like 3-5% most of the time, with nearly 20% for antidepressants for women. I'm just looking at North America though.

The withdrawal from these things is a crime. No warning about it up front from doctors. Then if you go off them too fast and have withdrawal symptoms that look like mental illness, they say “see, you still need the meds!”

Unironically: a delayed (or halted) revolution. If people didn't take antidepressants, I think movements like feminism and worker's rights would be twice, maybe even thrice as strong.

Exactly. It makes you feel trapped.

In bongland, I'd say maybe only 50% people actually take their prescription medications.
You're more likely to successfully claim disability benefits if you're on SSRIs and similar drugs for your mental health so people lie to their doctors for them and never actually use them.

You're supposed to ease off of them gradually (for example I'm going from 10mg to 5mg - stay on that for about 3 months, then lower to 2,5mg, then 0).

The thing is, as with all things in the U.S., is that it's a business, so they'll want to keep seeling them to you. But a good doctor would tell you to gradually stop.

Really? Fucking kek. You bunch of faggots

notice no ever asks why the majority of white people think they need these anti-anxierty medications.

white people are a special kind of NPC that can just rationalize the worst kind of self harm. Its not even evil considering they do it to themselves and have no real gain out of it. White people are just blind sheep who do what theyre told, dont question anything, and will be offended if you try and expose their lack of logic and reason

this thread is useless, everyone in this thread will pretend they are on the outside looking in and somehow have an objective view to this problem and are not just having these 'discussions' to justify their stupidity

the fact these chemicals are showing up in water is almost as bad as perchlorates from rocket fuel

tfw soon there will be a "coherence" checker that ensures that pepe's eyes are made out of trees and architecture that exist in realistic 3d space instead of fever vision

Which meds?

My doctor is Indian and has repeatedly and rudely told me that my goals are unattainable while comparing herself to me. She’s a fat bitch and I genuinely loath her. I defied most of her assertions and this only made her more hostile. I e switched to another doctor (who is also Indian) and although she’s smarter in that she isn’t arrogant and antagonistic, she still has no intention of letting me go

Prestiq

the few people I've known who take meds are wrecks. I ask them what good are the meds doing and it's always it would be so much worse if they didn't. I say I think it's a waste since they're still a wreck and there's a possibility it is the meds, but to each their own I guess.

What a monstrous looking city, I would have all of the above if I lived in such a humanhive

Why would you go to an Indian doctor?

My parents, I was underage. She was so fucking stupid and rude.
My current doctor is ok, but I’m a lot more aggro with her. I have everything on track in my life, so I have leverage

i know someone with an indian doc and whatever meds they want theyll prescribe no questions asked, kind of jelly

Some psychiatrists are no different than a legalized dealer. Their (((product))) are the same chemical and lead to the same result (addiction)

I'm on them and they work for me, but I definitely agree that these are over prescribed. Only 15% of people on them probably need them.

Benzo isn't really prescribed anymore, is it? How do you get it? I dont care if i die.

not even psych, general practitioner

how does it feels frying your brain daily because of science

The antidepressant users I knew all got vaccinated.
A correlation there?

Nah. I took several different in past. No vaxx here. Still hate life though.

im not against meds personally, i dont believe therapy can 100% fix anxiety or depression in any case

yes, thats totally what happened, half of all white people are all on anti-anxiety medication because of the vax

that takes some kind of thinking that is below nigger level, like niggers dont think stupid shit like this

Yes they are still giving out the pill form of alcohol for anxiety.

100% this. I'm a recovering drug/alcohol addict so I am fairly well verses in withdrawals but let me tell you coming off Venlafaxine was right up there with the worst of them.

the meds cause mental problems, they are drugs...
drug induced mental illness is part of the DSM.
on the medication tech sheet they list all mental problems the drugs causes...

I felt for it because masonic semites are brown... they used many tactics to emulate mental problems...

Also they need you to be on meds to discredit you...

a majority

What majority? A relative? An absolute?

I will kill myself without meds
Sad but true
Some of us (doubt all women btw) actually need anti depressants

They tried giving me prozac when I was 12, I just didn't take it and eventually they stopped asking me to.

why are antiDEPRESSANTS prescribed more commonly for anxiety rather than benzos? you can be anxious without being depressed

I was on SSRIs for ten years. I got on them because i had crippling panic attacks that started when i was 10. I mean real panic attack, not just "oh no i feel sad" - i was literally blacking out and smashing my head.

SSRI's completely stopped the attacks and enabled me to get on my feet and change my behaviour enough to not only stop the attacks and leave the house, but to also start working/dating/doing DJ gigs etc again.

I'm no longer on them and i no longer have panic attacks at all. I would highly recommend them to anyone who feels unable to live due to crippling panic attacks.

Yes, they control seizures, and literally save people's lives.
They used to hand them out to anyone that asked for them but not anymore.

Because benzos can be abused and become really dangerous.

same with adhd meds but they give those to little kids

anti-depressants "work" by the idea that a person constantly stimulated don't rationalize as in anxiety.

most "anxiety" are chronic illness called neuroticism, they want you to k33p going without thinking about repercussion of your acts, anti-depressants don't enchase your mood rather is a mild sort of akathisia were you're unable to stop acting...

after a while the person on anti-depressant start complaining that they can't sleep, than they introduce benzo/hypnotics and now they have anti-psychotics for insonmnia.

it is a cocktail of drugs...

the idea that the anxiety is a sort of over thinking condition is what makes doc prescribe anti depressants so the person act without thinking...

I took almost all drugs and it destroyed my heart, brain and kidneys...

don't tell you doctor anything, the police will threaten their license if they don't give up your information

benzos give me suicidal thoughts it a really strange experience, the chief of the mental hospital is a fucking jeet who hate me

Why are Americans so hooked on meds while the rest of the world can function without them?

Be psychiatrist

Be "for your patients health"

Charge them huge amounts of money

Immediately incarcerate them so the state can make revenue off them
