Haven't seen you for a while hope you are well. Actually I just went down the whole board and answered any thread I knew anything about. Scott was saying the same thing. That we need more posters. I can only speak for myself, I think it bothers people when posts are made just for the sake of posting. So I try to make sure I have SOMETHING to offer that thread or person thats of value. Sometimes thats just support and thats fine. However, there is a poster on the board now who takes 4 or 5 meds, is having symptoms that I don't think we are qualified to "treat" and I told him to call his Doctor (in a supportive way).
So, as to sending people away, I certainly don't do that. But I also have limited knowledge and I don't feel comfortable trying to comment on medications I know nothing about.
As this post was directed to me I believe? Yes, I started the Parnate thread and I geuss it will wear itself out when its ready. But I hope you recall that I know you (and like you!) because I answered several of your night time posts when you were having trouble. Those didn't have anything to do with my agenda, I just wanted to help you.
I do hear and respect your opinion, any ideas?
Hope you'll get back to me!
