The posters here are advocating that the initiator of this topic take more drugs. They do this without stating the adverse consequences associated with the drug which could seriously mislead readers to think that the drugs advocated are safer than they really are. And worse, the poster here is in such a state as to die that he could be easily swayed that more drugs will help him when they could kill him.
And all the while the psychiatrist allows this to be seen as being supportive. And the poster here writes that maybe switching to another drug would help. Maybe it could kill him.
