RESUMO
O aumento do consumo de psicotrópicos tem sido observado no Brasil e em outros países ocidentais nas últimas décadas, por diferentes razões. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender a vivência de indivíduos que utilizaram psicotrópicos para lidar com os problemas enfrentados no cotidiano. Um estudo qualitativo guiado pela fenomenologia hermenêutica foi realizado, agrupando-se o resultado em dois temas: experiência com o uso dos psicotrópicos e busca por abordagens não farmacológicas. Os psicotrópicos foram considerados necessários para recuperar um ponto de equilíbrio quando se reconheceram os problemas enfrentados como tendo alto grau de dificuldade. Em alguns casos, os fármacos foram percebidos como insuficientes para solucionar o problema, levando ou não à busca de alternativas para lidar com as dificuldades.Increased consumption of psychotropic drugs has been noted in Brazil and other Western countries in the last few decades for different reasons. The objective of this study was to understand the lived experience of individuals who used psychotropic drugs to cope with the problems faced in daily life. A qualitative study guided by hermeneutic phenomenology was carried out. In-depth interviews were conducted. The experience was grouped into two themes: experience of using psychotropic and the search for non-pharmacological approaches. Psychotropics were considered necessary for regaining a point of equilibrium when the problems faced were recognized as having a high degree of difficulty. In some cases, the drugs were perceived as insufficient for solving the problem, leading or not to the search for alternatives to deal with the difficulty.
