Anything is possable. Though both her her father and grandmother suffered the same illness without Parkinsonian symptoms till death. She was the only one who medicated for depression.

No, I am no better mentally off of them, that does not mean I am not perhps preventing long term problems.
>There are a great many people helped by >medication, even if they do not post here! >Don't be angry at those who achieve relief.
I am not angry in the slightest. I am not evil natured. Why would I not want sombody to achieve recovery? I am simply suggesting (similar to those who conducted that study), that there is a destinct possability that the medication acually worked to promote the development of parkinson's.

I am not trying to make decisions for anybody. Do remember that unmedicated depression often gets better on its own. It lives out its course, and most people get better even without medication.
Its not simply *one* problem that leads me to stop taking these medications. THere are a number of problems that when combined makes me believe that the risk is too great.
