> I think all this time, I have been assuming, or at least hoping, that this site was being run according to the Hippocratic oath which all physicians take, and which says, in part, "first, do no harm". It's been a long struggle for me to realize that that wonderful, 2000-year-old ideal has apparently been left behind in the information age.
I understand. Having spent half of my adult life observing people in the medical field, I know, that for the most part, the Hippocratic oath is in place.
When I came here, I was dying from withdrawal from EfexxorXR?. I think the XR was on the med I took.......whatever it said, it was killing me. I lost 38 pounds on it. I am 5' tall. I was wearing size 0 (zero) pants.
I was looking for information and found Babble. I wasn't well enough to see what I was signing away when I joined the forums. All I wanted was for someone to help me get off the med!! I found people who either were going through the same thing or they had managed to get off of the drug.
The emotional reassurance was what I needed. I needed to know that I would get through my pain.
My pharmacist and I devised a plan and after 6 or 7 months, I was free from EfexxorXR?
To tell you the truth, until it was brought up I didn't know I had signed the release.I am proof of someone coming here and signing up and never knowing that my words would be used by the site owner.
I have good friends here. I hate to start over. (I did go another forum and stay 2 years or so.) If I quit here, I doubt that I will risk putting it out there again.
