I have been on meds for the last. Actuators been to long to count. So far my schedule 1 drug has it been taken away from me although it's generic but in my experience they make it harder but not impossible, the best thing to do is find a therapist and doctor who are not just in it to push drugs onto people because of big pharma, get a good med doctor and therapist that can work together and over time figure out what's best for you. Meds work different for everyone and from my experiences in therapist and doctor's over the decades there are the most advocating people for medication and therapy then most.
This is from all my experience requiring medication
Yeah anything produced in the late 1900 I would consider old. Like me....
