I was prescribed all this for depression. Doctors today are worse than advertisers in terms of selling you shit you don't need. If I remember correctly, the above drugs were 2 or 3 antidepressants, lorazepam, ambien, and seroquel (a major tranquilizer or "antipsychotic). Just ONE of those seroquel had the psychological effects of several mixed drinks combined with valium. At the time I also had 5 refills of them... 5refillsx30x200mg of seroquel. That's 30,000mg. If it were aspirin it would enough for a lethal liver failure alone. I would guess that just 1000mg could lead to respiratory arrest or heart failure.

All this given to a patient who came in for suicidal ideation. I will NEVER trust the medical profession again as far as psychological help. Now that I am off of all the medication, I feel better overall with some low days but everyone has those.

Sorry to be so off topic, but I feel very strongly about this and people should know DO NOT TRUST DOCTORS 100%. Take everything they say with a grain of salt. Afterall, they are only human too and are further corrupted by making commission for selling drugs.
