"What we do know is as the chemical window closed, another awakebings took place. That the human spirit is more powerful than any drug. And that is what needs to be nourished with work,play,friendship ,family.These are things that matter .This is what we have forgotten. The simplest things."


It's been almost 3 years since I took medicine for depression. I was addicted to medicine for a time and tried all kinds of medicines frantically, alprazolam, diazepam, clonazepam, quinoline Tipine, sodium valproate, fluoxetine hydrochloride, sertraline, mirtazapine, sipromide hydrobromide, venfalacine... so many drugs are now well tolerated, It takes more to have an effect. Suddenly one day, when I looked at the countless pills on the table, my heart trembled. I was using drugs to escape life and avoid stress. I don't know the day when the medicine will completely fail me. If there is such a day, I am beaten back by life, what should I do.

Maybe I'm just kidding myself. As the doctor said at the end of the film, when the door of the drug "wake up" is closed, maybe I need to open another "wake up" window - the simplest things that are neglected, friends, family, work, play , life and love.

No tolerance, no side effects. Love is the eternal antidote.

    During the process, I have been thinking about why it is called this name. It sounds very helpless. Looking up at the sky, why did you treat me like this. When I saw that De Niro had just been cured and had relapsed, he could just stand up, eat, walk, chat like a normal person, and even pursue the girl he liked, the medicine lost its power. The reborn patients have all changed back to their old appearances, and they really feel that there is no need for them.

Awakenings quotes

  • Dr. Sayer: I'm sorry, if you were right, I would agree with you.
