No, SLS i can understand where you are coming from. you're pretty cool. but i realized this website is for people who haven't had a situation like mine. anytime someone talks about having long term effects from a medication it is easy for a doc or a say something like "oh that is just your condition getting worse and not from the medicine"
heck, it took how many years to put the suicide warning on antidepressants!? and when prozac first came out it was thought of as the "wonder drug" and sent antidepressants mainstream. i'm sure when a patient was prescribed this new wonder drug that when going to a psychiatrist complaining of worsening depression after starting it,, the psychiatrist upped the dose, making the person feel worse and maybe pushing the person to do suicide.
people just shrug off serious situation like this.. and like mine. i have been looked at with so much suspicion when i mention a med affecting me permanently, and i am thanking God now that i have finally found a psychiatrist that takes my situation seriously. if i hadn't found her i would probably be dead right now.
i mention how i felt before taking antidepressants and how i felt a bit after starting them because i figure people would pick up on the mood change that occurred. and then this never goes away. i have experienced this effect too many times when taking a medication, and i do believe i would bean idiot if i didnt figure this out. but then i am treated like i dont know what i am talking about by doctors and by people on this site.
i still plan on posting on this site, but just nothing about myself. i have other sites and even YahooAnswers where i get much more relevant from others.
