I have read thousands of SSRI horror stories on the web and have also seen petitions signed by thousands of people that speak against some of the drugs like paxil and effexor. While that may not bring the percentage range up to 50%, we are talking about thousands of people testifying against these drugs. That means that there are several other thousands who are probably experiencing problems and not speaking about them.
There are millions of people on these drugs and im sure several million people get a benefit. However, when you have thousands of people who become victims to the bad side effects, suicide, homicide etc..you would have to agree that those are some scary figures. That just proves that this is all hit and miss and that this is one big experiment.
Those who get the benefit will speak for the drugs. Those who get the horrible reaction will speak against it. That's just how it goes. I was one who got a very bad reaction from paxil that almost killed me, so you won't ever see me advocating a drug that nearly drove me to the grave.
