I tried Effexor a few years back. Fortunately, it made me puke. I'm glad I didn't stick with it considering all this withdrawal talk.
Prozac was a nightmare; Zoloft is for zombies; Paxil...well, I can't remember why I stopped taking that one.
Psychologically challenged people should really hold the drug companies to the fire. You can get better drugs on the street.
They change an existing drug a bit, give it a new name, repackage it, announce it to the world, watch their stock rise...all the while wining and dining the docs so they'll pump it down our throats. Free samples!
The relationship between doctors and these sleazy drug reps presents a complete conflict of interest.
Meanwhile we're all just guinea pigs (sic?).
I have a prescription for Lexapro in my pocket. I don't think I'll use it. I wanted Well-Butrin but apparently my head injury precludes me from taking it. (Note to self, don't tell the next psych about the car accident until AFTER you have the prescription in hand.)
I think I'm going to try cocaine...at least then I'll have a reason to get up in the morning.
