> LinkadgeI was just about to post, that I think the main reason that these effects are underreported and recognized is because so many people are labeling themselves as depressed, and using that to account for the symptoms when it was the medications that caused them in the first place. If your symptoms are due to the medication you have a gut feeling that they are and your usually right. I went on treatment that probably worsened sexual problems and emotional problems because my doctor convinced me that I was experiencing symptoms of depression, the treatments made everything worse and I know I was right all along.
