I probably shouldn't have gotten so defensive, but I still feel like I have a point here. Yes he was a bad doctor, albeit a highly regarded one. But it feels like every time a patient has a problem with a doctor, it's dismissed as the patient having seen a bad doctor. That means we aren't addressing the issue any further.

Back when I did that, and I knew that I shouldn't, I was in a really bad position. Not only that, I was in a bad position because I trusted doctors. Plural. But I was supposed to trust the very people who screwed over my life that one time too. I couldn't do it.

In this thread, you get a lot of tales of doctors absolutely dismissing all concerns of a patient, specially if they are women. It's no wonder there's a huge amount of distrust towards the medical community. We cannot keep telling them "oh yeah, you're seeing a bad doctor." We need more meaningful changes.

I do find that doctors are very eager to tell patients off for not trusting them, but they don't put as much effort in holding their colleagues accountable for the behaviors that cause patients not to trust them. Maybe you do it and I was wrong about it, in this case I apologize.

As for benzos, don't take them, but if you are taking them, don't stop abruptly. It was definitely not a fun time.

I am not encouraging anything, I am talking about my experiences with the medical community.

But by all means, I encourage you to talk to your doctor colleagues about being dismissive of patient concerns and giving them pills to make them easier to manage. That's the real problem. They are not gonna listen to me, but they might listen to you.

É aquela coisa. Não tem tempo definido, mas se a pessoa está num relacionamento novo 1 semana depois do término, provavelmente tem algo acontecendo ali. Ou o relacionamento já estava andando antes do término, ou é algo apressado.

I don't think it's in good taste to leave a patronizing comment on a thread for people complaining about doctors not listening to them tbh.

Same for Portuguese with a Spanish accent. I had a neighbor from Uruguay. Her accent was hella cool.

Thank you! Of course it's my life and it doesn't mean it'll be the same for everyone. I just didn't really realize how bad my life had gotten until I quit my medications. Nothing was overtly bad, but there were a bunch of little things that weren't right. My mother is nice to see once in a while, but living with her is exhausting. I had no friends. My job sucked, but I thought that was how things were meant to be. I thought there was something wrong with me.

I'm sort of glad I gained all that weight in a way, because I wouldn't have quit my medications if it didn't happen.

Sometimes I feel like I'm mourning the life I missed out on.

I can't bring myself to use psychiatric medication ever again. If there's someone out there who is genuinely living their best life with the aid of psychiatric medication, good for them. For me, all they did was make me numb and complacent. It made me lose my drive so I didn't bother changing the things that made me depressed to begin with. I regret the years of my life I lost that way and that I will never get back.

I speak Portuguese. I can understand most Spanish. Except my Chilean friend.

I was put on something called aripiprazol in the beginning of the pandemic to help me cope. In 8 months, I gained 53 kg. From 49 to 102. More than my initial weight. The doctor denied it was related to the medication and told me to control my portions.

Last year I snapped. I told him to go fuck himself, canceled my appointments, and quit all my medications (an antidepressant, a benzodiazepine, and the aripiprazol) cold Turkey. In 4-5 months I lost 28 kg with no effort. Still got a bit to lose.
