> > sheesh after reading this message I really am wondering more about these SNRI's etc!!! which gives me more reason to get off of it(ha, ha). Then again so many things are dangerous.. one must keep this in perspective.. but when it comes to fooling with the neuro receptors in the brain, I would caution anyone to think twice before going on any SNRI, SSRI, etc, etc..
Majority of people are depressed cause of life issues and how they deal with them and think about them.
I believe that the cognitive therapy approach is THE way to go here...no drugs..just use your mind .
Ive been off of ativan for 2yrs now because I learned to manage my anxiety other ways.. and IT works.. no drugs just mind control.. and practice. and Im glad that I have the power to control my anxiety, not have to run around will a pill in my purse or panic to have one on memusky
Then there is the alternate possability that SSRI's are dammaging the heart in a manner similar to certain serotonergic weight loss drugs, but I won't go there.

Of course the main difference between SSRIs and the diet drugs Pondamin and Redux is that the latter two are serotonin releasers and seem to act very differently in the body. I have never seen any evidence for SSRIs producing the same heart valvular pathologies as are seen with the serotonin releasers. However, this possibility should not be overlooked.
