> Youre not going to get anywhere by nitpicking words to the point of absurdity.
My point is that you artificially inflate your claims to make them more convincing and less susceptible to criticism. Who, after all, would possible disagree with "every governing agency"? If you don't want "nitpicking", don't make claims that are patently false.
> If it is only the SSRI class that is 100% officially recognized as doing this, and if that leads to you ONLY recognizing SSRI's as causing that effect (even adter all your experience of using these meds) then thats just fantastic.Again, my point is that we need to look at the facts. As far as I know, in the US, only SSRIs have the black box warning about possible suicidality in teenagers as a side-effect. That other drugs (for me, tranylcypromine) can worsen depression is a different phenomenon. And by the by, I actually think there is something encouraging in this fact: if it worsens my depression, it does at least seem to hit the spot in my brain where depression is "happening", it just does the wrong thing there. Shows that we're not completely off the mark with today's treatments for depression.
> > nice we agree that it does happen.We *all* agree that it is happening. That is precisely why you get those warnings on the package inserts. So yes you are right here, but your point is completely trivial.
> One suggestion is that every governing agency (that governs psychiatric meds) be as open and transparrent as possible with the public.Sounds good, I don't think that many people would object. But posting outlandish claims is not going to get you there. If you want others to stay with the facts, you should do the same.
