The same goes for most meds that effect the mind. Most people that have seizures hate taking there meds cause they turn then in to zombies. For many the Seizures are easier to take... Doctors on the other hand with threaten people to make them take the meds which makes the issue even worse.My doctor felt that I was dealing with a lot of anxiety, so he prescribed Zoloft. I agreed to try it and within a week I was a zombie. He convinced me to cut the dose in half and it wasn't that bad, but after a month or so, when it had taken full effect, I found that I couldn't do my usual word games on my Kindle. I was missing words like cat and dog and I was on a very light dose. My point is that when people with a mental illness are medicated, their quality of life can be diminished so greatly that they will often stop the medicine because it is better to deal with the symptoms rather than the cure. All too often, the medical community is more concerned with curing the symptoms rather than finding the cause.
