My anecdotal evidence was closer to yours than everyone else's on here apparently. I'm a 35 year old who acts closer to 22 or 23. I wasted a least a decade going deeper and deeper down a psych-med hole. I was on a large amount of Effexor when I decided I'd had enough and went cold turkey. It probably wasn't smart, but I didn't care about anything when I was on that stuff. Once the world stopped shifting every time I turned my head, my life steadily got better and I started to care others and stopped focusing solely on myself. Maybe it stopped me from suffering some really bad lows, but it also kept me from enjoying any good things in my life (including sex). I was living in a perpetual "Fuck it". I'm still learning how to cope with missing a very important part of my life, but I couldn't imagine where I'd be if I kept listening to any of the numerous doctors who had nothing for me but more prescriptions. I think all I ever really wanted was someone to care enough to listen and coach me towards making positive steps. I think a lot of people don't know what to do with their lives.
