So people have to evaluate the degree of suffering they are experiencing against the possible harm the medication may do.Now if I am going to take a drug along with its risks I might as well allow myself to experience any benefits the drug may offer in terms of mood improvement. From what I have read and experienced myself, if I am going to obsess over the possible sides I may experience that will certainly sabotage my drug experience. So either don't take the meds or take the meds and stay open to anything positive it may offer to alleviate my mood illness. The third option is the one that makes the least sense for me. I don't embark on a med trial and obsess about the bad things that could happen. That option will certainly bring your med trial to an unsucessful conclusion.

I think the statement has incorrectly branded many of us who do know the potential sides and make a decision to proceed with the med trial. If I obsess about the sides the drug trial is doomed before i start.
I think that once you reach a certain level of fear of psychotropic drugs it makes more sense to not take them anymore. Get off of them and gradually your brain will drift back via homeostatis to its former self.
