Reply to "antidepressants"

YES I do. I'm almost afraid to ask what you are taking. I have been on Paxil and Prozac in the past, I know people who have been on Zoloft and other SSRI’s and it is my experience that any they are bad news for most people.

In my very strong opinion Physicians including family doctors and specialists have absolutely no business prescribing these kinds of drugs. We should only accept these sorts of prescriptions from a psychiatrist. These drugs need to be monitored very closely with the complete knowledge of a patient’s history that is only revealed in therapy. I am sorry if I am coming on too strong but I have a real beef with this stuff and there are much better drugs out there that MD’s don’t get financial kick backs for prescribing. My T agrees that some of these drugs frequently prescribed do not belong out there.

If your T is not licensed to prescribe ask her for a referral to someone who is. Don't leave it to your medical doctor.
