> I said " sounds like depression" not the same as "strictly due to depression" the rather exhaustive list of complaints from the first post seems a heavy charge to lay on the original SSRI treatment, however at a certain point in time it's no longer possible to neatly catalouge these phenomena , it's subjectively too complicated to unravel, nor would I find it advantageous to dwell on the fact that one may be "impaired" in some way by previous use of a substance. There are effective solutions available for most of the complaints listed, be they chemical, natural, or simply through the passage of time.

I disagree as I feel the risks of these meds are greatly minimized in the psychiatric community and blown off as problems with the "illness". So I was concerned when I saw people in their responses doing the same thing,
What usually happens is that people get chemical solutions which results in a never ending prescription of meds as you keep medicating side effect which piles on additional problems. That is why I feel it is important to sort it out as people were just making the assumption it could be the original illness.
Regarding being positive, I said that a majority of people seem to recover but there is a significant minority who are having problems. In my opinion, false optimism is not helpful either.
If you still disagree, you might want to go to this thread,
