Sorry, folks. The site is for real. There is inherent danger in AD's, even at recommended dosages. You must be living in a vacuum if you
can't admit that these drugs can cause severe, adverse reactions, even when used correctly. Prozac at minimal dosages (less than 5mg) nearly made
me psychotic. I thought it was just me going off the deep end. I must admit that there should be a happy medium for the pro-drug and anti-drug group, but it seems
neither wants to budge. And the depressed folks just sit in the middle waiting for the real answer...
