[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 912777, member: 43498"] Again, I am not saying it is ok for doctors to ignore informed consent or to "treat adults as if they are incapable of making decisions". I don't know why you think I am saying that. One person's being "a slave to the pharmacy" is another person's making use of effective and necessary treatment solutions. It's a matter of perspective. If we nurture anti-drug views then we will feel unnecessarily negative about it, which I think is unhelpful if we need drugs to survive. Better to think positive IMO. You say you value your "freedom from regular medication". Great. Lots of us have no choice but to take medication, because of our body's needs. I haven't made any assumptions about your health, because that's personal, and wasn't relevant to the discussion. [/QUOTE]
