pharmacological therapy is a real help?

I think drug therapy has a place. It might not be for everyone but drugs have played a huge part in my life and I can’t and won’t deny that. I’m currently waiting on a prescription for Ritalin, to help with the adhd. 

I’m not planning on taking the drug long term, but as an aid to get me back into twice daily meditation, daily physical exercise and yoga, breathing exercises, walking and back into a waking and sleep routine. If drugs are used intelligently along with other methods, for example, diet, exercise, mindfulness etc, they can be very helpful.

I’m a metaphysician, vipassana meditator, raw vegan and so I’m all into the natural. But who said drugs aren’t natural? I don’t see drugs in the same way as most people and because they’ve played a huge part in my life, for so long, from a young age, I have no negative connotations with drugs and I do have a tendency to turn to them, because they have helped when no other human could, but I am working towards a completely drug free life. In fact I’m working towards not only a drug free life but a food and water free life as well ~ breatharianism ~ I’m an extremist but I’m actually at my best with no food or water in me, so, why not! Lol!

What I’m saying is, some people will see a contradiction between how I live etc and my relationship with drugs, but I don’t see a contradiction. My new approach to life can be summed up in 3 words ~ does it work? I apply that to everything I do; if it works, I’ll carry on, if it doesn’t, I’ll stop. 

If you know what you want to achieve, you can be open minded and try things out and if they work, great, and if they don’t, great, you’ve found another method that doesn’t work and you can learn from that. I’m also not against people not wanting to try drugs and just the food we eat, how we eat, when we eat and physical exercise etc can be just as powerful, if not more powerful than any drugs. And of course, mind set is everything. 

Having said all that, as a parent, your mind will play out all sorts of scenarios because of course there is our emotional attachment as parents towards our children, which we must honour and respect, but we mustn’t let it get in the way of good judgement. 

There is so much information available today and so many great therapies and approaches to situations etc, that drugs are becoming obsolete for a lot of people. Although it might not appear so, but drugs are on their way out as more and more people turn to food, exercise and lifestyle choices/changes etc, to solve their problems. But drugs do have a time and place still for many of us. You know your son best and what other resources you have available etc and the psychiatrist will be honest with you about side effects etc, so they will help you make an informed choice. So I guess it’s about collecting as much data/information as you can and when we do that, the evidence tends to speak for itself and makes the decision for us.
