welcome to modern psychiatrics...

sure it's better than electrocution, which i've seen patients are still getting... but treating the symptoms is not solving the problems.i've tried the natural remedies (top) and the pharmaceudicals provided by prescription from my doctor (which are almost often refused by MedCo until the doctor contacts them to "pre certify them, in the best interests of saving money..." right... it sure must save money to waste the time of the doctor, the patient, the pharmacy employees, the doctor's office employees, the MedCo employees, the people who put together the mailings for EACH and EVERY medicine that is certified, all the mailings, all the paper, all the printer toner, all the separate 35 cent postages, all the letter carrying all the wasted effort from the people, the machines, etc... sure... what a great cost savings.Anyway... the top pile i'm not taking any more. the little black turds, believe it or not, are called "Serenity" and come from a health store of all organic stuff.The bottom pile consists of lots of stuff, such as the very popular and very marketed Effexor XR, and a generic amphetamine salt that's supposed to "jump start my mornings" but just makes me shit a lot and feel jittery, a whole shitload of pills to counteract anxiety, migrains and sleeplessness... but nothing at all to put me into delta sleep... in fact... most all of this shit has sleep disturbance side effects... and they all say "do not consume alcoholic beverages..."etc, but alcoholic beverages don't seem to affect me like they affect normals. Plus, for extra fun, i just today discovered that there are two drugs here that counter indicate each other and one with a cream i've had to start using again thanks to a skin reaction restarted by all the blood removal sights on my inner elbow area (the medical tape caused fungal infections and ketekonazole, which is my anti-fungal creme, and one of the meds are marked as no-no's together, yet my doc prescribed the med for sleep problems and migrains... same old shit... be your own doctor or die).blah blah blah
