Years ago I was put on the psychotropic medication gauntlet, trying this one or that one to gauge whether they would be helpful.

After one of the medications turned me from mild-mannered to so violently psychotic that I had to be locked in a room away from others, I swore I wouldn't touch any of them again, and I haven't.

I never want to experience that kind of thing again.

I'm not anti-medication in that I say nobody should be on them, but I won't revisit them for myself.
