Point well made.<p>With my ex-fiancee, a psychiatrist had her on prozac and abilify. She had a complete breakdown in her senior year of university classes. They put her on a cocktail of stuff and weren&#x27;t honest in their dealings (parents and doctor).<p>She had quite a few voices and things in her head. And the drugs helped that, to a point. It was when she started getting tics that I investigated more, and saw the 3-5 pages of &quot;adverse conditions&quot;. Tics (tardive dyskinesia) was a permanent adverse condition, and could be gained at any time after starting just Abilify.<p>When you&#x27;re trading one set of nasty stuff for another set of nasty stuff, and then eventually have to quit, is it worth it? Especially if you end up getting the initial set of nasty plus whatever the drugs have induced as well?<p>Hopefully, better research will target neurons directly or properly calculate for hormonal deficiencies.<p>Now admittedly, I&#x27;m for proper disclosure and informed consent. There&#x27;s times in which a drug&#x2F;surgery can cause more damage than what you&#x27;re trying to fix. And in the case of my ex, it was that she was developing adverse conditions, and she wasn&#x27;t told. I&#x27;ve taken antidepressants along with other medicines. Nothing wrong with taking drugs to help fix problems. If you&#x27;re thinking about quitting, talk to <i></i>your doctor<i></i>. Some of those drugs are dangerous to quit cold turkey.
