Just wanted to get some input from some folks.
I notice docs handing out products like lexapro, prozac, etc like candy these days.
I had one pushing it on me.
Also, benzodiazepines seem to be common place for all stress related issues.
Antipsychotics are getting used commonly.
I am not one to talk as I have used some of these products and used them successfully to treat issues on a one off basis.
It seems though at times products are pushed through the FDA machine just for us to find out later there are a lot more issues with these drugs than previously thought.
I also notice many drugs mention some nomenclature about “We do not fully understand the exact mechanisms” by how this drug works. Well are we opening up a dangerous wormhole here?
I realize some meds are very necessary for some folks but I get the feeling we hand out quick solutions without knowing long term consequences.
Thoughts?
