Having been a Nationally Certified Psych RN it is just that back a few years ago no one that I ever cared for was on so many meds. New names are easy to google and see what that are for and supposed to do. But it's reminding me of what happens to the elderly when too many different meds are prescribed. No one knows what's causing what. Now it is or seems the same with psych meds.
Casually when out and about it's still the ad, usually here a benzo not antipsychotic, and a mood stabalizer. And that is it. Seems in real life that people are now only staying on a med or combo for about a year and then weaning off. And used to be that SSRI's and other ad's didn't have withdrawal symptoms that were talked about. Times are changing!!!! Also seems to be a lot of competition between natural supplements and prescribed medications. Phillipa
