So...I had a difficult day at work, but I'm not sure it's anyone's fault but mine.
For no real reason, tears began to well up in my eyes, and I nearly cried. I would have bawled if I had no control. So I considered, for the rest of the day, going back to benzodiazepines.
Those are the things I took after I realized antidepressants weren't doing it for me.
Which reminded me of someone's question to me earlier in the week: "Why do [mentally ill] people not take their medication?"
Easy. In fact, I'll let you figure it out with a simple google search. The bottom line is: THESE DRUGS HAVE INSANE SIDE EFFECTS. Truly. The reason I even got off of benzos - even though they worked like a charm for my anxiety - was because I noticed memory and speech impairment. Still, my memory and speech have not gone back to normal.
It's extremely scary. Why, when we already have messed up brains, would you want to mess them up more? You solve one problem, but create 10 more in the process!
