I think anti-depression pills are over-rated too. I tried them at the suggestion of my boss, not because I was depressed, but because I lacked as much patience with the resident morons as was desired. I made the mistake of drinking sake with sushi while on them and then taking a nap. I awoke in the receiving ward and learned that I had driven and wrecked my car. No memory of leaving the couch, but I did suffer head injuries, so that may be why.
Sadly I injured another driver, who wasn't wearing seatbelts when I hit his small pickup with my B-300 one ton and besides the DUI, I was convicted of vehicular assault and spent 30 days in jail and 11 months in work release.
My victim suffered two broken legs and a concussion, where I polished off my left knee and had my chin torn off by the steering wheel center ring. I had my knee replaced and had plastic surgery on my face, but that just fixed the really ugly part and my chin is still significantly scarred.
Besides $5000 in fines, my legal bill was $45K. My umbrella insurance policy also paid out $1.1 million to my victim, which of course got our vehicular policy, as well as our home and rental insurance policies canceled, and made replacement expensive.
Vehicular assault is a felony, so I had to sell part of my gun collection and transfer the rest to my son and just recently finally got the assault II expunged, so that I can again own firearms.
Suffice to say, I quit the antidepressants and quit drinking for almost a decade, after which I've never had more than two drinks in one day and never before driving.
