Anxious Babe,
Sorry I didn't check sooner. I think this one was aimed at me. You didn't do anything wrong, and we are glad to have you here. So please stick with us.
Trucker,> one this is the lex board,
Lexapro falls within the category of SSRIs, to which the warning pertained.
> two most of us aren't on zanax,
Xanax is commonly used to supplement SSRIs for anxiety symptoms, and several people here are on Xanax.
> three she has been in school longer than any of us
There are some very well-educated people on this board, of which I am one.
> and i am sure she wouldn't steer me wrong...
Even doctors make the occasional mistake or oversight...
> i take welbutrin and lexd and the grapefruit works wonders on weight.. so i don't have to whine about weight gain...
I am glad you found something that works well for weight loss for you, but for you to recommend it to everyone on this board is potentially dangerous.
> my psyc doc goes to studies all the time to stay up to date and are you calling dr-bob stupid or what!!!!
??? No. I never even addressed Dr. Bob in any of these posts. And if I had, I would NEVER have called him anything derogatory. He provides a wonderful service to us all, and I for one am grateful. I simply "cut and past"ed valid medical studies from prestigious medical facilities to help my friends. I have never known Dr. Bob to discourage the exchange of valid information that would help others on this site.
The bottom line is, we are here to help each other. If I had knowingly withheld information and someone ended sick or even dead because of it, I would have had to live with that for the rest of my life. I did what friends do. I warned of imposing danger. And I would do it again.
