Picture this, youāre at your lowest of lows, nothing anyone can say can change it. You feel lost, confused and even a bit crazy. You go into the doctor, he reassures you that this is a normal thing to go through. He prescribes you your first pill 25 ml of Prozac, the first of many to come. The next night you take your dose and feel a numbness throughout your body, its working at least for a bit, you feel your body start to shut down in a good way. Flash forward to a few doctor visits later, you still feel sad about the way life is going and now numb as well. You tell the doctor how you feel and he takes out his prescription pad and prescribes 5 more. Youāre optimistic thinking maybe this will work. You keep going back to the same doctor, he ups the dose more and more each time. āTake 1 and 1/2 of another or we could try a different type!ā YEARS go on and now you have 50ml of a new pill. This has to be the answer, you have tried all the medicines this has to be the one. Still nothing, you feel moments of optimism, but are still tired of life. What do you do!? Going back to the doctor you ask some of the questions you have been thinking. Why am i feeling this way? Is there a way to get off this dose and try something natural? Doctor looks at you and tells you that is not a smart thing to do, they read the side effects of the medicine. Now you are scared and lost, they tell you to keep taking your dose and if you need more help theyāll up it again. This becomes your new routine. Every night take your group of pills prescribed to you including the depression medicine just getting you by. Starting to feel like a zombie you keep saying how you feel but no one is listing. At this point you want to give up, youāre tired, dosed up and confused. Youāve lost all problem solving in your brain and freak out over the littlest things. You donāt have the energy needed to fix yourself , the energy put in to take these pills have taken this away. Youāre now in your mid 20s, cant have a glass of wine or youāll end up severely dehydrated, not living life to the fullest. You have an idea again and realize this isnāt working,seeing more negative then positive, so you switch doctors. Go on to the next and the next until someone listens. Finally you find a doctor that listens, you tell him you feel sad still and donāt know if the pills are working. You want to get off them, he listens and tells you that its possible. Youāre capable of getting of your dose, this is something that has never been said, and you are relived. He gives you 25ml of your dose and tells you to do this at your own pace. You ask if you are going to go through all the negative side effects and he tells you itās achievable to quit this drug. Taking the 25ml you are on your way to the next optimist chapter of your life.............
