How can people be on psych meds and earn a living.

Those pills zone you out. Your in la la land.
How can you zone out and live your life when in reality nothing is free.

Maybe a person NEEDS to be in la-la land to flip burgers for a living.

I wonder the same thing.
Not to mention how strict work regulations are when it comes to street drugs.
It's all hypocritical because not all drugs (legal or not) induce "haze," or placation.
Some amp you up. Make you highly alert and energetic. But, it doesn't last. The crash invariably comes and then you're down....hard.
All I know is I never could get away with it. One summer, I smoked a couple joints over a weekend. Two months later I was declined a job that I applied for (and drug tested for). The results were positive. Their method of detecting measured the presence of substances down to the NANOGRAM.
Absolutely ridiculous when compared to things like cocaine that are virtually undetectable in less than a week.
There's always a trick to make an honest person suffer.

Very true al.
I am starting to think that maybe people on psych meds have people supporting them and allowing them to zone out.
But Im still confused if their caretakers stopped caretaking, how can they hold a job down?
The logical thing to do is get off the meds to be present.

I would think the kind of psych meds that put you in la la land are generally the same ones that also keep out of la la land.

Not necessarily. I'm taking (at a very low dose) an antidepressant which, strangely enough, is REALLY eff2ctive for blocking neurological pain & the deleterious mental effects are quite noticeable.

Oh. I took Lexapro for a bit and it didn't really have any kind of affect like that on me, but I doubt it was the strongest thing they could have put me on. I have stayed away from such medications since.

It would be nice if I could switch to something else without suffering much worse side-effects. Still, it beats opiates and being a junky.

I don't believe a lot can. For those some who do; I attribute this ability to naturally highly functional folks who can have their disorders/psych meds on a daily basis without being fired, doing something stupid, or otherwise being unable to keep up. Bravo to them and gives us hope.
