No, no, no! I wasn't referring to people who were happy that the medications were working for them and posting about it. What I was thinking of were a few posts which were written in reply to some posts of mine asking about specific medications. Even in the posts where I specifically stated that I was looking specifically for information regarding these specific drugs, and specifically stated that MAOIs were not options, and I really didn't want to hear that I should take one, some responses still said that I should take an MAOI. Some of those posts said I should find another doctor, if mine wouldn't prescribe Nardil. Others said that I should "give up" my eating disorder in order to take Nardil -- that's one of the reasons it's not an option, but it's because you don't prescribe dietary restrictions to someone with an eating disorder. The idea is to STOP restrictions. And, of course, there are physical issues as well, having to do with cardiovascular health.

Sorry -- my little rant.

The end result of that sort of post was that I kinda felt rejected, abandoned, unsupported, and unheard. I'm sure that wasn't anyone's intent -- but it was my feeling. So, that's what I had in mind when I posted what I did above...

Thanks for the apology, but it certainly wasn't necessary. We're good, right? ;-)
