All these pills are some voodoo man, always a curse to go with the cure, if you even get the cure - I've tried so many of them and nearly all of them fucked me up in some way

Bin the lot and embrace the herb

Worst side effect I get these days is a good night's sleep

I have had doctors telling me to have these and then upping the doses all the time when I tried them.
I have stopped taking doctors tablets full stop now and doctors tell me I am doing the right thing by staying away from these tablets.

Medical cannabis is a lot safer and healthier than these tablets in my opinion

totally agree. Sertraline is on my medical notes as giving me an adverse reaction. I will not take SSRis
....and migraine medication is even worse

Sertreline made me a different person so I threw them in the bin and was then told that I had to wait for them to work

Yeah just ignore the weightloss and the agitation, and the nausea, and the frequent urination, blurred vision, etc, etc, etc

Funny how the side effects arrive quicker than the 'benefits'.

Almost like some kind of warning from the body...

I think that when I have side effects of something it is my body and brain saying this is not right so I just throw them in the bin

I have learned the longer I am pushed into taking the wrong medication. The longer it takes me to recover when I stop taking them.

That is why I don't take doctors tablets
