It is only natural for someone, like us, to yeah be outright offended. Both of us were in the opinions of ourselves, our doctors, and people who know us, *more* skewed in our views, opinions, and how we reacted to 'weird' experiences, BEFORE we started receiving treatment. Our close friends who know us, and the medications we are on at certain times, know and will point out to us if a reaction we give is likely to be caused by the medication we're on, or any of our problems. We ourselves look closely at the symptom lists and keep an eye out for *any* sign that there's an effect, whether good or bad. If somebody is being a responsible adult about their problems and treatments, then we assume until signified otherwise, that they take the same level of responsibility.
We are cynical about drugs, do not take these comments as blind faith. A friend suggested seroquel to help with when my anxiety is at its worst, and we already are on edge, will be looking up symptom lists, etc. But... Prozac? Seriously? Long term medical 'care' for say, mild depression? We will never get how you can compare such thing to people who are stoned, and no amount of articles can change that. Unless somebody has a severe and bad reaction to the drug, that comparison is just, off the wall, it really is.
I'm not sure whether we're more put out by your opinion or by the fact that it's you that holds it. We will however try to be more brief in future replies when/if they happen.
