Most people don't need these drugs. But when I was younger I had psychotic episodes where I got extremely paranoid. It actually happened in
college, and I thought my room mate was spying on me through cameras implanted everywhere and I slept in my car for days and then my dad convinced me
to go back to the dorm (I didn't tell him why I left) and I bought like 20 towels and put them everywhere. Anyway, my room mate actually thought I
was insane through the whole time we were there together that he moved out into a dorm across the hall with his friends. I've also had times where I
burst into tears, then laughed, burst into tears and laughed and then got irritated when people were staring at me.
Well finally I went to a psychiatrist when I thought about suicide at least 10 times a day, and he prescribed me risperdal and an maoi (parnate).
Let's just say things calmed down dramatically for me.
My point is, yes these drugs shouldn't be handed out (because they can in fact damage your life more than help if you don't need them), but if your
mind is really debilitating, then these drugs *can* help. I got off the risperdal and maoi though, since they are very hard and powerful drugs and
all I need right now is wellbutrin and adderall (though I think I am going to not take adderall anymore).
