SSRI

SSRI

No question, there are a lot of people which benefit quite a bit from Anti-Anxiety and Mood Stabilizing medications.  However, it seems that these medications are often over-prescribed and any other possible issues are looked at as a bio-chemical imbalance rather than a set of true issues.  I wrote this about my own experience on Paxil.

Death overtakes me 20 at a time
As my mind fades away, I don’t care what’s in my eyes.
So just stick it in my mouth, inject it in my vein,
And I’ll be wondering as I die if I even came…

So give me two, give me three, give me four ways to die!
Ignoring all my cuts as they ignored all my cries!
Your past doesn’t matter, take the easy way out!
Killing off your brain will fix your problems, no doubt cuz…

S is for my stage and
S is for my shame and
R is for my rage and
I will soon coast along!!

Take these 10 and run along!
At 20, you will not belong!
30’s when you fade your song!
At 40, you’re gone!!
Your life shall become clinical!
Emotions are all chemical!
Take two of these and go away!
It doesn’t matter what you say!

Now let’s step away and look from the side!
Three weeks of trying, not to come but to hide!
Receive a glow and return only a stare!
13 to one, no one even cares!

So now it’s withdrawal, withdrawal, the fun way to go!
All of life’s pain, except without the glow!
But unless you take them, you’ll chase them all away!
So close your eyes, close your mind, don’t ever let them hear you say that

S is for my stage and
S is for my shame and
R is for my rage and
I will soon coast along!!
