Meds; a love hate affair.

Meds, They can save your life.

They can save your mind.

They can mess you up too. They can kill you even.

Should we fear them?

Should we stop taking them?

Dealing with medication side effects

Pretty much every medication can  and often has a side effect, or two.. or pages of them.

They don’t strike every person the same way, some do not appear at all, whilst some meds will be more of a torment than what they were prescribed to treat.

Often too, as the body acclimates to the medication, side effects fade or become more tolerable.   

Sometimes though, when a new medication is prescribed to you.. and a side effect suddenly makes its appearance…. YOU FREAK OUT.

It most often happens at night… or on the weekend.. when your doctor is unavailable. 

It scares the crap out of you.

stop?.. keep taking it?.. but but but… what to do?

The draining power of depression

It’s hold is strong yet unseen

shapeless darkness, that can only be felt

so convincing, but in all the wrong ways

tenacious and dark, yet so powerful

draining, demotivating, saddening

Its goal is to mold, but to remove definition

to make you fade, to a mere shadow too

depression

Depression… sucks

So, not to go into why you are depressed. You know you are, and you have sought help.  Sometimes more than once, as it didn’t go well the first.. second.. third time.

So how can it be treated, or can it? Why is it not working.

The side effects are terrible.
