> Huxley, glad to hear you are doing better and you found what is working for you.

I do believe there are many people that have bad experiences with medications like you, I truly do, so I am in no way saying your experience is a rarity. I just don't think you are taking into account all of those people doing well on medications, medications that are far less invasive than the ones you were on(i.e. SSRIs-at least for most people). I have said it here before, you will not find the thousands of people doing well on drugs like SSRIs here on the internet celebrating their success and reporting it. If you think what you see on the internet represents even close to the majority of the population of people taking psychiatric medications, especially ones like SSRIs, you are greatly mistaken.

> And why would you come on here and bring up such an issue with Scott when he is obviously feeling better? I find it a bit selfish. If you are doing better now, why not just leave well enough alone and get on with your life. I'm sure you are a good dude with good intentions Huxley. I just think your efforts here might be a little misguided.

> MorganWow my own topic. Gathering up the pitchforks and the angry mob? Do I get run out of town now for having an opinion that doesn't comply with everyone else?
That is a pretty wafer thin argument to hide behind.
'you will not find the thousands of people doing well on drugs like SSRIs here on the internet celebrating their success and reporting it.'
No but I can find you tens of thousands of people who's life has been uterly destroyed them.
I am happy for Scott if he is feeling better.
Don't really know where you are comming from to be honest.The amount of drugs that people have taken, me included have no doubt caused ongoing problems and harm. Put your head in the sand if you dont like the topic.
