Two question, Lou:
1. How come I'm not dead or neurologically damaged beyond repair, since I've been taking an SNRI & before that an SSRI for extended periods?
2. How come the SNRI I'm taking, if it is so potentially lethal, has restored my emotional and cognitive functioning after they were ruined by depression & anxiety?
Note, in case anybody is wondering: I'm not claiming that SNRIs & SSRIs are without risks; but I am most definitely claiming that they are also not without benefits. And by the way, the page that comes up when you type in Lou's search is to a page by some guy without any particular expertise that I can discover that argues by assertion, exaggeration, and by cherrypicking medical studies to fit his agenda.
