> You are exactly the same person on AD as you are off of them. Psychotropic pharmaceutical drugs are mind-altering substances. They place people in an "altered state of consciousness". Does this sound familiar. When my cousin was allegedly afflicted by "chronic major depression", and he was prescribed Prozac, his mother commented "it's like I have my Joey back!" because his mood had lifted and he was acting very differently, different from his behavior in the past year or so, perhaps more like he was as a small child. His Mom always referred to them as Happy Pills. This was the regime when she would remind him to take his dose in the morning. "Take your Happy Pills." Of course this behavior was mostly because he had been seeing a therapist and was getting some positive attention and reassurance. The SSRI drug soon triggered progressively more intense outbursts of rage and irrational behavior, and it would not be discovered for 5 years that he actually had a more serious mental illness, and the diagnosis and administration of SSRIs had been hasty and improper, exacerbating his condition.
