While I don't agree with the harsh manner in which it was stated, I do agree that NO ONE should be taking medication unless under the care of a doctor. You did not go to medical school for eight years. They did. Granted, there are some very bad doctors out there, which is why you should put your effort into finding a good one (I swear, they exist!) rather than self-medicating.
We all do it. I do it, for sure. I have abused the heck out of Parnate. But I am under a physican's care and she knows about it and has taken preventative measures - ie prescribing Nifedipine, holding meds, ordering medical tests when necessary.
Operating with yourself as your doctor is a very dangerous game.
