I first want to say that I love this board. I would be upset to see a fee only because I know it may reduce the amount of people using it. I sometimes get a kick out of reading the boBB stuff, but I too do not like it when it gets threatening. Anyway, here is my question. As the above post, is there any validity to the practice of increasing doses of ssri's to decrease side-effects such as weight gain and sex drive.

I don't know about that. I've been on Luvox, Paxil, Prozac and now Celexa, and I haven't heard anything about reducing side effects by increasing dosage (though I certainly may have missed something.) The only med that apparently decreases side effects with dosage increase is Remeron, an atypical antidepressant -- not an SSRI. Perhaps, (and hopefully) someone more knowledgable about meds will prove me wrong here.
