LINK The Medications That Change Who We Are

They’ve been linked to road rage, pathological gambling, and complicated acts of fraud. Some make us less neurotic, and others may even shape our social relationships.

I have been fighting with the GP of a family member for years about severe personality changes from meds and have been ignored. This is REAL.

I believe it. I don't like to take pain-killers. and have never taken them for more than two days, even after regular surgery and dental surgery. I took an antidepressant one time, but detested the way it made me feel, and took myself off. If any drug is mood-altering in its effects on me, I stop taking it.

The problem is, in all drug trials, the participants are encouraged to report Everything, thus the 4-page, tiny type, warnings listing trivia, that already exist.
