Do you actually read the replies to the things you post? In one of the first replies from Scott he linked to an earlier post of his where he described his own experience with reboxetine and made exactly that point, backed up with scientific references for various drugs. I, too, explicitly acknowledged the phenomenon of worsening depression and suicidality as a rare but possible effect of antidepressants, not the least because I have experienced it myself. And noone here calls into question the black box warnings on antidepressants.
So, if you actually read the posts here you will find that we are by no means "unacceptable" to this. I just object to your dramatizations, misrepresentations and exaggerations.
I also strongly disagree with your qualification of a working antidepressant as an "amazing artificial crutch", but that's for a different thread I guess.
