> I'll join the chorus of the other sibling commenters here by expressing skepticism that any medication will at all help with anything.

“at all help with anything” sounds pretty absolute to my ears, as does the wording in basically every other sentence in what you said, but I’m glad to be mistaken. Though I note the person you responded to barely mentioned medication, and you seemed to find it necessary to denounce it in the strongest terms in a reply…

Let me quote myself:

> * Psychiatric medication often simply numbs your brain...*

Notice the word "often". I'm not a 10-year old that claims that the 4-5 cases that I've witnessed represent the entire world and I'm getting tired of everybody here pretending that I'm some kind of monster.

Or maybe you're projecting too much?

Get off my back already. Read more slowly, don't get outraged, don't assume malice. Does wonders both to mental health and to the quality of online discussions.

I’m not sure where you read outrage in my comment, but talking about the quality of online discussions right after accusing me of projecting did make me very emotional. I laughed right out loud.
