Its all in perspective i suppose,to me living life with ill treated depression was playing russian rouletter.My mood was unstable,which made me come close to doing things i normaly wouldent,there were points where it got so bad i just felt a blank page in my mind and fear or value of life did not exist.

Although i still have my struggle,the way i approach my treatment now allows me to function,feel and know who i am,i understand your point and i of course dont recomend anyone doing anything as a result of a single persons experieance,but i felt my health was quickly fading when my sympotms were untreated,i dident eat,i was nervous on the road,i had break downs,it was extremly frightful.I understand peoples views on being cautious,but i do not live life on the edge,im pretty conservative,i just can not live with the horrid pain of depression,and in that regard only i am willing to take risks because my entire existense depends on it.

LOL I dont even ride rollercoasters no way.

conversation, agreement and vehement disagreement but I'm going to say only this:

> 2) Despite what I might think of these companies, during the depths of depression or otherwise, I would not want to be so utterly stupid as to gamble my life with a supposed, life-threatening interaction of Parnate w/Demerol, dextromethorphan, SSRIs, high-tyramine cheese, or any other substance that is clearly a so-called no-no. If you enjoy living on the edge like that, well good luck, but this is exactly why the Psychobabble Board has disclaimers. Every so often someone comes along who enjoys spittting into the wind. I've always been a die-hard non-conformist and individualist but when it comes to playing Russian Roulette with my health and welfare, I'd still err on the side of caution, no matter what I think of GlaxoSmith Kline, Roche, et al.
