Well as uninformed as I may be compared to a lot of you I base my position on the fact that not one of the antidepressants has done a thing in the ten years I'm been on them. The only positive results I've ever had are benzos. As when my anxiey is down I'm not depressed. And I hated seeing what happened in the psych wards when I worked in one as an RN. A pt would come in on one drug and not be that bad off. A week later I would work on the floor above where the patients were supposed to be in better shape. And when I gave out their meds now instead of one they have two pages of meds and they were worse. And now insurance won't pay for a hospitalization unless you are actively suicidal, homicidal, or totally paranoid, or experiencing hallucinations. In my opinion the AD's dont work. Look at the people that waited so long for EMSAM to come out and now most of them are quitting. Love Phillipa
