The truth is indeed what people need, and they won't get it from so called antidepressantfacs.com
I don't know the intentions of the people running that site, but if they are not bad, they should be sterilized for the better good of humanity.
EX:
Case/Review Fatality related to a 30-g venlafaxine overdose30 grammes, that's 400 pills.
Take xxx aspirin - death
Drink 400 glasses of water within the hour - death
A case review is exactly that; a case review.
from http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/pinealstory.htm
"...What actually happens when you increase serotonergic neuronal activity or elevate your serotonin levels is this: the stress hormones "Cortisol" & "Adrenaline" (Epinephrine) in the brain and body are triggered by increased serotonergic activity or elevated serotonin levels. ... They give the human personality a boost, producing a euphoric state, which can last for a prolonged period of time. In this manner SSRI-AntiDepressants initially produce the deceptive results the doctor and "patient" are both expecting. *"
I can tell you first hand that you do not get a "boost" from antidepressant.
A very heavy release of adrenalin can get you a boost. A heck load of cortisol make you feel wired in the most unpleasant sense of the word.
So, marilyn, drop dead.
