Anyway, I have the right to have my opinion, don't I? I don't think she should be on medication at all and I do not care what you or some people think about me voicing an unpopular opinion. I am not here to baby anyone and she asked for our thoughts and so forth on the matter. Nothing you or anyone else say will change my mind, don't like what I have to say, then you are welcome to scroll by

Sure can voice our opinion, my problem is you're opinion is just irresponcible and not very wise/educated. It's great to suggest potentially harmful things to people without really thinking very much about the consequences.
I can see I've upset you because of your tone here, sorry to offended you - given your defensiveness I beleive I've made my point. Still it doesn't mean your comment safe.
I agree dotors over prescribe, but in mental health quite a lot of those presriptions keep peoples behaviours within normal range and prevent them from doing harm to themselves (either physically or mentally), or others.
Many menthal health pateince do medication then come off it way to soon and fall back worse than previously, end up hospitalised because they have tried too soon without sufficeint preperation.
And I do agree the OP can do lots of research on the subject, but you don't have a full history or enough information to diagnoise where she has been and where she is going too... You've had a bad experience - don't endanger other people because of it.
I appreciate you want to end up in some form of medicine, but until you've got a medical qulification you might want to think of toning it down to the
seek a second opinion type options rather than suggesting a complet regime change....least you manage to start you career with a few deaths due to ignorance, or perhaps you could become a faith healler... ;P
