> I've been following posts (and posted myself a few times), and it seems like at least 75% of the responses people receive to their trepidatious inquiries re: meds are all about horror stories! People, don't you realize that, when you say "I took that and it was a 'LIVING HELL'", you're subconciously influencing that person and partially determining what the ultimate effects of that med are?! Please ALWAYS include a "My experiences shouldn't be taken as the end all/be all. There are many success stories about this med out there." disclaimer if you're going to post this negativity. You may be depriving an individual of just the med they need with your negative feedback.
I myself fail to see such horror stories. whatever side effects people talk about wouldn't be much of a problem if their depression is under control or whatever problem they may have. mental health is most important of all. I personally would trade both my legs, my left arm, my genitals just to be back to my normal self. take care
