> I care about the videos. If lamictal caused the syndrome what is wrong with someone posting about it? Why does everyone on this site have to be pro-medication? Just because you take them and want to feel they are helping? Do you know how many people struggle with them here?

> Unless it is an emergency situation medications should not be the first line treatment. Doctors just dole them out like candy so they don't have to spend the extra time with someone and help them get healthy. My wife went to her family doctor once for a mole on her face and came home with two different ssris!

> I have been off all my medications for 3 years. Was it easy? Hell no, but guess what? I feel better now than I did on medications for all of those 15 years. I was misdiagnosed, told I was bipolar, depressed, anxious, had OCD, etc., and that I would need to be on meds for the rest of my life. Was it not for a very astute pyschiatrist that encouraged me to grow and take responsibility, eat right, and exercise I would still be on them and relying on them to get me through the day.
>See, and these are all great reasons for you to not take meds! Lou's "scare-tactics" of telling us how amphetamines are the most dangerous drug in the world and ADs in general cause hundreds of thousands of deaths each year are just not serious posting. it's not like he posted a link to a video once, and now everyone's complaining. it's all he does. producing "requests"... that's no serious way to contribute to a forum.
