> This is not something you can claim. How could you possibly know that the SSRI is responsible for your recovery? This is the kind of trash thinking that makes it hard to get potentially life-changing medication. I take a heavily controlled substance for a sleep disorder and ADHD and our laws surrounding it’s distribution and refill are unconscionable. My life falls apart when there is lapse in medication and nobody takes it seriously. I cannot stay awake, focus, or function after about day 5 without it. It’s appalling that peoples’ well being is in danger every month because someone decided that it might be abused and restricting legal distribution is the solution for this. First, you do not and cannot know what this person has been through or know what their baseline is. Second, if someone’s life is improved when taking a medication, what does it matter to you that they take it? I’m not going argue the efficacy of the family of SSRIs, but we need to let patients make their own decisions and assessments of what works for their situation.
