To anyone with a disability
A person who studies their health, their options, the components/ingredients, the potential to have their prescribed( & thoroughly researched) medication consumed or refused is intelligent but the question could be asked whether they are focussing too much on their (ill/debilitating) health.
Desperation (to have a life) is usually in the answer, somewhere.
We have intelligence to make educated informed decisions.
That includes the decision to either;
A) Keep a clear mind-we can research how the mind is affected by medication but don't know how it will affect OURSELVES until we consume it. (I kinda value my brain and its capacity.)Allow our body to be affected with a selection of side effects. (up to and including fatal effects).
I am NOT saying avoid medication. It has been successful with me and I can have a (limited) life.
I recommend you UNDERSTAND THE DRUG and MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION
Your body, your mind, or ask for help for someone you trust to help you. One question. My eyesight is terrible. Why do they write the medication labels so WEE !!"To exercise power costs effort and demands courage." Oscar Wilde
