The key practice to making pharmaceutical controls work over time is to have an understanding in the process of homeostasis as that relates to continuous biological changes taking place within the body relative to external environment factors as well as psychological stresses. Basically popping the pills can only do so much where one still needs to practice good habits in terms of outdoor / sunlight exposure (AKA circadian Rhythm), healthy eating, hydration and a host of other factors the play into lving a natural lifestyle.
Generally speaking, it is a misconception that you can just take prescription solutions solely without adhering to said natural practices or addressing root causes (especially psychological impacts) and expect pharmaceutical solutions to keep one balanced. Such synthetic practices on their own only result in the upping of doses to remain effective which then lead to other medications to deal with the side affects. This is well known but given how hard it is to get back into things naturally, such changes are often rejected/denied; understandably. Basically the balancing acts via medications is rather short lived where keeping thins on an even keel just results in more popping of pills.
Comes down to the lessor of two evils where if the events that lead to said instability make the side affects of medication less an issue then of course going the medication route is very helpful for those suffering like so. Yet current attitude on reliance with stats showing that to be the case is where medications then lead to more which basically feeds the industry to which people would rather not confront. Just as with the thinker thinks and the prover provers ... so to does the industry make a killing selling pills.
In the same way it was recently said;
"The only option is hard fuckin yakka, fighting to become your own master of self, as a Sovereign being." in another thread ... this is pretty much true when it comes to reclaiming one's health.
I've been in full time therapy since 2012 and in the time experimented long term with a host of meds. Almost got metabolic syndrome from the antipsychotics (now regularly prescribed for sleeping meds with 1 in five elderly jacked up on the stuff in nursing homes [current investigation in Australia at the moment [dumbs them down]), fucked with me memory, morbid obesity, liver and much more ... BUT helped me in the early stages to be sure.
Coming off all the shit and several diagnosis later with ASD/ADD/PTSD [chronic/complex]social phobia/Anxiety Disorder/Bi-Polar Tendencies (gives way to PTSD rages lasting 3 days of climbing the walls taking 2 weeks settle thereafter) yadda yadda - I have learned how to remain medication free spurred on by the side affects of long term use ...
BUT - it's fucking hard work and totally understands the natural way in an unnatural world is certainly not for most people.
Best and easiest way to start is to learn about Circadian Rhythm, Heliotherapy, drink more water and do lots of walking twice a day early in the morning with the rising sun and later in the evening as the sun is going down. You can do that without having to sweat and still whilst using medication. Just that alone can really help to get back into a sleep routine ... You can still eat like shit and live like that - you'll will notice an improvement. It really is the best advice and all that is pretty much FREE. That said - also totally get that people these days are house bound and not will to cross paths with other people. Just look for places low key - go really early and in the evening ... also just walk around your back yard if you are lucky to have one.
Anyways - that's what I am doing after 12 months at least living in a small bedroom full time. It's working. Good luck with whatever path your doing. CV is only just the tip of the iceberg with what and all currently going on, the increasing speed of change and what is to come.
Do whatever works - just meant to say balance in nature consists up cycles that go up and down ... staying on one level or simply trying to remain balanced full time is not natural ... so mix it up whatever way or route your taking. I am lucky to have someone who is trying with me ... he is involuntary taking lithium - but says it is helping ... however admits the regimented sunlight and walking is also helping. Other factors include researching sleep hygiene, digital dieting, home lighting. sound pollution, and so on ... we really are becoming bots but our biology simply can't keep up. Now it is a science in learning how to tend to our natural needs. You don't have to have mental health labels to suffer these things ... everyone is now impacted negatively. The good news is there is information out there on how to reclaim one's health. Much I kind of mentioned but takes time to learn and also foster the desire to look into these things.
Again all the best with whatever works for you. I'm just spurring myself on is all. Its a good topic and very relevant to today in terms of health. Especially in a world that thrives on illness and broken people. Food for thought ... don't discount learning about how thoughts change our chemicals with the being what we focus on (or allow ourselves to be exposed to) also affecting our ability to regulate internally. This another dynamic to mass vibrational changes re perception management. Laughs out loud but true enough. One step at a time ... is good people are waking up. : D
OH also - if your taking pills - be sure to take the right colored ones. Something about Red and Blue?
