[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16067530, member: 181885"] Ok, I'll divulge a little on my own experience. You hit the nail on the head my friend. Last year landed me in a hospital 3 times- thought I was having a heart attack for one, and EKG came back fine, blood pressure high, they attributed it to a panic attack. I was sleep deprived, stressed to the max, and in a dark place all around. One wrong move and everything my wife and I had would have been gone. Talking with a doctor about the "problem" was a mess. They handed me a stack of paperwork to fill out. It was a series of surveys. I looked up and said "I don't want to fill this crap out. Either you're going to slap a straight jacket on me, or you'll have police at my house to confiscate my firearms, or both." I was assured that would not happen except in extreme cases, and I also took a moment to explain my perspective. It took a solid hour to complete the surveys. A nurse came in, sat down, and talked to me. I explained that everything was crumbling, I wasn't sleeping, I was blacking out randomly, and if I didn't keep subjecting myself to overworking, I'd lose my job and many others would too. I refused benzos- that's playing with fire. [U]What I was really looking for was a medical leave of absence so I could pick up the pieces and rest[/U]. Time for prescription #1. Didn't work. Ok, try prescription #2. Month in, didn't work but congrats you have ulcers now. Ok, how about this one? This leads up to a few weeks ago where I find out that my migraines, vision issues, neck stiffness, and inability to look at any lights was due to aseptic meningitis, which was a 1/100,000 chance side effect from a medication. I said "nope, I'm done with this crap" and I've been trying willpower and natural remedies to help with stress management. I'm persistent, resilient, and admittedly "hyper vigilant." If it was this hard for me, I can completely understand how someone with less willpower would simply crumble with the way the system is, or become a permanent zombie on SSRIs (which, by the way, is "serendipity science" since the "chemical imbalance" schtick is just a theory with supporting evidence, but not completely understood at this time).
