Psych Meds: Yes, of course. Millions of them. Most people do not stay on these medications forever.

DOUBT: People with a biologic need for a specific kind of medication may have to stay on it to maintain stability and good function. People with other problems may need symptomatic relief for a limited time while they get their balance or do psychotherapy. When the need is gone, why would one continue the meds? Yes, people really do get better!
