For those of you who are taking AD's to improve what was relativly normal to begin with, fine lets wait for the new drug to come out.
But for the rest of use who aren't really
here to get a high, Serotoin will never
go away. If you're genetically predisposed
to have nill Serotonin, then whatever med
you take - it'd better fix that problem.Prozac isn't a fad - it stopped me from
shooting myself in the head. So please,
have a little respect here. Yes new drugs
may come out to have improved response or
side effect profiles, but for us who are
in this for real, these drugs aren't just
the flavor of the month.
I've played this game before, you say
yeah, serotonin's nice but I need some
of this. Then you're back where you started
because you didn't learn from your past
mistakes.
So if you're just playing this game,
and never had problems in the first
place then fine, but I caution those
who've made it a long way on SSRI's
not to just toss them for the newest
thing that Comes along.For all intents and purposes, Remeron
was supposed to be that mirracle drug,
but it made me more suicidal than ever.
Please have respect for those of us
to which this is really an illness
not a game.
