Ah, You raise a good point as well Paul. A LoT of docs do work with the drug companies, and prescribe the latest fad, and the docs get major bling bling out of it. I'm not saying all, but from my experience, MANY! I feel it should be illegal for the drug companies to basically pay the docs to promote their junk, which often times, they know little to nothing about the effectiveness, or side effects of. I mean, we already have this cursed thing called depression. We don't want to be depressed lab rats! Oh, and when there is a complication with the med, the docs usually say, We don't feel it will be a long lasting problem. (HA) I was started on ADs because I was suicidal, and the meds they continue to give me each time simply add to the problems. I wonder if they call increased suicidal feelings "a long lasting problem!
I should say, Not all docs are this way, I'm sure, but all that I have been treated by have been. I have had plenty of people get angry with me about my opinions, but I have to be honest.!
Good luck Paul, and remember, you can win this battle with depression, and mad scientists (some call P'docs)!
