> > It scares me to read about people who are so into drugs. You should try a healthy diet, exercise and a temperate lifestyle. I know you scoff at me but having to take drugs to live is not normal and you are making it a way of life around which your world revolves. I found this site doing a websearch on "luvox" which is a drug Eric Harris was on (of the Colorado shootings). I found many many site where people testified that the use of these drugs never cures people and they never get off them, and often suffer terrible side effects. Bottom line is they are never "cured" which is hwat I see happening with you folks. You guys just keep taking more drugs.

> donna- until you suffer from depression, ocd or anxiety please dont speak such junk! i was very opposed to medication and finally at 29 years old have decided to get a hold of my life and start the road of antidepressants. they arent perfect and not too much fun when you arent on the right ones. but it beats not sleeping or sleeping all the time and suicidal thoughts,ect. my boyfriend has ocd without the c. he goes through hell everyday and has since he was a child! once again i wasnt sure meds where the way to go, but the docs(yes plural) all agreed that he needed meds and probably always will! he is switching from celexa( gave him no sexual side effects but made him very tired- did nothing for his ocd either) to luvox and we are crossing our fingers. i am on 300mg wellbutrin sr and 30mg buspar. i am still not sure that this is the right combo for me but i tried zoloft and although it helped my depression i had no sexual desire and was in bed all day everyday! with wellbutrin atleast i get up and get things done! drugs arent always the answer but they are around for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!! you wouldnt tell a person with heart problems to just diet and exercise and skip his drugs! COME ON! educate yourself and lose the ignorance! i am sorry if i am being harsh but my life has been hard and i cant sit here and take this crap from someone who has not walked in my shoes!

And a lot of people who were on alcohol committed crimes and ended up in jail, too. That doesn't mean everyone on booze ends up in trouble. The same goes for luvox and eric.It isn't true that none of the psychotropic drugs work. I am improving with the use of them!! You probably have never felt bad enough to need medication so you do not understand. I suggest you get educated on mental illness and psychotropic drugs and how they do help a lot of people. Exercise helps, too, I'll agree. Many people cannot function without the drugs you are criticizing so harshly. Let me tell you what I think-you do not know what you are talking about.
