From the Introduction
Psychiatric medication comes with questions that are not answered in the prescribing information: how it will feel before it feels better, whether the adjustment period is worth enduring, what it means to need it, and what it means to stop. The people in this collection have worked through those questions, and they speak from the other side of them.

A note before you read

This book is a collection of personal, first-person testimonials offered as companion reading. It is not medical advice. Always consult a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical condition or decision.

About this volume

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the experience of beginning, adjusting, and sometimes discontinuing psychiatric medication — across a range of diagnoses and a range of approaches. They write about side effects, the weeks of uncertainty, the conversations with prescribers, and the eventual reckoning with what the medication changed and what it did not.

Who it's for

For those weighing a prescription decision, those mid-process, and families trying to understand what someone they love is navigating on the inside.
