> Please people, take your pill and stop complaining about it! It is all we have! Stop blaming docs! If you do not like them, don't take them but I am tired of all the doctor bashing! It is all they have and you have. If they don't help, stop and try something else.
> There is NO concpiracy! Get lives people!
I had worked in the pharmaceutical industry for eighteen years and believe me there is definitely a conspiricy. The conspiricy is to make as much money as possible. That in itself is not a bad thinsg. However, when I start a med that is offering me the hope of feeling better and I am feeling worse I need answers. I did a medline search, which is a search of studies in peer reviewed journals and there is very little out there about the side effects of the psychosocial drugs we are being prescribed. Additionally, unless you are being seen by a specialist in the field of psychiatry, it is very likely the GP/IM/FP has a deep understanding of these drugs they are prescribing. Did you know that many drug companies do not even promote these drugs to the GP/IM/FP? And that what they know of them they see in journal ads similar to the ones we see on TV or in magazines. It is shocking to me to find this out and sad. No one wants to just stop taking their med, but I can correctly state that everyone wants to feel good, strong, happy, motivated. I also need to know I am not alone in feeling the way I do so shame on you for putting us down. I have a life and I just want it to feel better.
