Hi I am extremely concerned about the safety of pyschotropic medications. I took zolpidem for a week and I'm afraid it changed my brain. I don't know how to convince myself it's safe. I've talked to doctors and therapist, and everyone I can but it's been in my head for so long and I have mental issues that I didn't used to have. I'm scared. I don't know what I've done to my brain and why it's like this. The only safe comparison I can find is alcohol and caffeine which are drugs that are safe when used not in overdose or long term.
