For example, I was taking an anti depressant, as well as weight loss medication. To make the weight loss medication more effective, I was given a supplement for it. This supplement plus my anti depressant? It made me fucking crazy. Like, scarily out of my mind. Everything at the time seemed perfectly logical and normal. But now I just have shame for the way I acted, felt, and thought for that period of time. Was it my fault? No. The doctor, when I told him about some problems I might be having, said something to the effect that when these combine it may cause emotional disturbance. Oh really? Good to know.
I guess the reason why we treat mental illness differently is because it can severely impact ones…

Mental side effects happen with lots of medicine, though. For example, malaria pills give you trippy ass dreams. No one gets freaked out about that.
