> "After thousands of studies, hundreds of millions of prescriptions and tens of billions of dollars in sales, two things are certain about pills that treat depression: Antidepressants like Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft work. And so do sugar pills" (p. A01).That's quite a definitive statement. None of the above worked for me, although I've never tried Zoloft. Still, the source you quoted clearly stated that it's certain that Prozac, Paxil, and sugar pills do work, presumably for major depressive disorder. They did not work for me. So, would it be fair for me to refer to the statement that you quoted as a lie? Or are my comments simply invalid because I don't have an M.D.?
I guess it just amazes -- no, bothers is the more accurate word -- me how flawed some statements from "experts" can be. And that the thousands of dollars I've spent on ineffective treatments go toward paying "experts" who don't always speak the truth when it comes to describing how effective psychiatric treatments actually are.
I feel ripped off. That much is certain.
