With long term use It’s not surprising, the same issue appears with current anxiolytics (benzos and gabapentinoids), after two months they do more harm than good. Antidepressants don’t work on many patients or suddenly stop working, and antipsychotics’ side effects are terrible. If they are looking for a perfect drug that treats any of those mental aliments through daily use they won’t find any. Treatment should be tailored for each person.
I dislike to use anecdotal experience to talk about this matter but what I’ve learnt about me is that sparse intake of cannabis or anxiolytic pills can help manage symptoms. No more than twice a week, otherwise the body adapts to these drugs and problems arise. It’s like hitting a “reset” button, giving the mind a space to rest, reflect, change direction. When usage is daily that is impossible as this state becomes the new normal.












So… Philip K Dick was right then? The Roman Empire never ended and we are living in black iron prisons! I just started reading Valis a few days ago.
