I have so serious side effects from my anti-seizure medication it literally disables me more than my seizures (note that I rarely had seizures, it was just too scary for my parents), but every complaint of mine was just dismissed.

Trouble with sleeping? Just sleep more, you will have more dreams and more health since more sleep means more health.
Trouble with memory and concentration? Either just try harder, or take notes about every small detail.
Weight gain even with a diet? Give up all your other hobbies and become a full-time sportsman!

What medication?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Valproic acid. It's so infamous as a mood stabilizer that Scientologists were using it as their example of "bad medications", but once toxic positivity around mental health care became fashionable, people were forced to wipe the internet on documenting their misfortunes with the medication.
