What I hate about drugs

[Julie]

What I hate with drugs.. you go to the doctor and you are really low... I've broke down many times.. and then he gives you some drug that takes 3 weeks to kick in.. Flippin heck .. I need it now in 3 weeks MAYBE ill be feeling a lil better than at the present time myself..

Then I start to wonder.. Are these drugs for real.. Ive tried so many and seemed to never get anywhere.?. Are they just some psycalogical pill to make you believe they are more.?. Why are so many ppl chopped and changed from one drug to another.. ? Why are there so few that totally recover from depression or SP.. ? I've asked myself these questions so many times.. Does anyone else feel the same way?

I dont think this is the case.
There are some drugs, such as valium that kick in much sooner after you've taken it and so can be taken on a more "as needed" basis.
Also, the reason why people are chopped and changed from so many drugs is because everyones body will react differntly to differnt types of drug. Some people will find that no drug works for them, if you think this might be the case with you, you should probably try talking to your doctor about other forms of thearpy.

Some of the immediate drugs are anti-depressants. I think the side effects are worse, though. I took one of them briefly and felt like a zombie. At that point, feeling like a zombie was an improvement, though.
