> Two or three months ago, as PROZAC took hold on my depression and it started to lift, I was somewhat rude to two or three of the contributors to this board. I cannot remember who, but I think that one was "Bearded Lady"
>
> I have now stopped taking the PROZAC and feel miles better. However looking back, I realise that I must have been suffering from a form of "mania" caused by the PROZAC altering some chemical balance or whatever.
>
> Therefore I would ask those who I may have offended to please accept my apology for my rudeness. It was not excusable, but it was a part of my illness and the effect of an otherwise great drug. I am sorry.It takes a lot of guts to admit you were wrong publicly. I congratulate you on your frank admission that you were wrong. I could tell you were manic, most likely from the prozac. That is pretty common, where individuals with bipolar tendencies are placed on SSRIs such as Prozac and left to their own devices. It all goes back to the lack of diagnosing sophistication of clinical psychiatry. Its not your fault you probably should have been placed on a mood stabilizer or combination Mood stabilizer/antidepressant rather than just prozac by itself. Blame psychiatry and its poor technological capabilities instead.
Apology accepted. Just keep in mind that this board tilts more towards the biological psychiatry side of the spectrum and I think you will be fine here.
