I'm sorry if you think I "shut you down." That is never my intent.

I can personally relate to being over medicated. Many years ago, I was stoned out of my gourd. I literally couldn't put three sentences together in a coherent manner. I was told I was permenantly disabled and to go on disablility!

I took their meds, along with their advice, and threw them away. Actually, I bagged the meds up and gave them to my family doc and told him to kept them, that I didn't want them, with the exception of the antidepressant. I knew I was depressed. Only then did I begin to get my life back.

So, yes, I can completely relate to being overmedicated. And I'm very sorry if our wires crossed. I hope this share helps.

Shalom!
