Psych meds cause patients to enter “zombie-like” states, feeling terrified and hopeless

He tried to stop taking them, but his mother insisted they be taken on time, every day, just like the doctor instructed. He complied with their orders but it didn’t take long for his metabolic processes to break down. Weight gain hit hard and fast. Fatigue cloaked his being like a zombie personality.

Violent, careless impulses seemed to overtake his extremities, like some other entity was in control. It was like he was being trained not to care — empathy dissolving from his human nature. Over time, his mind went through the motions, succumbing to the dose. It made him feel hopeless. His mind only craved more.

His doctor said he was just trying to cope with the depression and that he’d need to keep taking his medicine. When the doctor upped the dose and said he’d need these drugs for life — that’s when he started to see through the illusion of the medication once and for all.

He told his mother it couldn’t go on any longer. He told his doctor he was cutting back, but the more he abstained from the pills, the more the withdrawal effects pulled his mind deeper into confusion. He was determined to come back to his senses, to end the dependence on these medications that were claiming his life. He knew he wanted to be normal, strong and independent — no longer bound to the control of these pills.
