The way I look at it, you have to take everything on the internet with a grain of salt. Maybe more than one grain. That's why I'm not that concerned about someone like that posting here. I don't believe anyone would be swayed that easily in any direction based on what a stranger says. It's all just something to consider. I have always thought there might be drug company reps here, especially since there are some posters who are so aggressively critical of anyone who even questions that treatments other than meds might work for some depressed people. I have always suspected some of them might be drug co. people. But I don't know for sure, so I listen to what they have to say the same as anyone else (unless they're being insulting and abusive). The thing about any med is, even if it's great for many other people, if it doesn't work for you or the side effects are intolerable it doesn't matter what anyone else says about it. It's always a matter of trial and error anyway, so no other person's opinion about it can ultimately matter that much.
