I can understand your contempt of Pharmaceutical companies. I'm currently weaning myself off of Paxil, while switching to Lexapro. I was told by my doctor at the time there would be no problems getting off of Paxil. Well that was a lie. However, for every bad experience on an anti-depressant there are countless positive ones. Lexapro is doing a fabulous job. Thank god for Forrest to bring this to the market. PS- The son of the CEO of Forrest has suffered from crippling depression for many years, hence Celexa and now Lexapro.
I would also like to address the comment about pharmrep. I think it is good that someone from Forrest even gives a rip about what we are experiencing on their drug. You think SmithKline gives a hoot? I've read most of what he/she has written and it has been surprisingly objective.
I don't mean to write that your views are not valid ones, they are. I just hope you had looked into these areas before you wrote about them.

I hope you get better soon. I have found that Amino Acid vitamins works extremely well in warding off withdrawal side-effects. Take care.mark
