> I just really read the article and have to agree with most of it as ad's don't work for me and have been to many pdocs. The l0mg of paxil had me laid out in a hammock for three months til could function again. My brain adapted to it. Only reason was given an ad was they thyroid went. Until that time tiny doses of benzos worked just fine and beet to unwind at night for sleep. I functioned and was nationally certified in psych nursing. I often wondered why some patients constantly admitted could cry through the assessment and then join other patients and laugh and have fun. Seems to me they really weren't depressed. This is excluding bipolar, schizophrenia and more to me biologically based illnesses. Depression to me is too broad a scope of meanings. Phillipa
Again you are using yourself to prove a point. If they don't work for you that only means they don't work for you.
Also you stated many years ago luvox worked very well for you. Have you forgotten that?
They have worked for many people in here and not worked for some. Go to askaptient.com and you will see how they really work.
Using yourself (one person) is not a scientific test of wether these meds work or not. Also knowing a few people is not scientific. Many in the real world will also tell you they benefitted from the meds.
