Because switching medications as prescribed by a physician often involves discontinuing one drug to be able to begin another. Sometimes, drug holidays are a desired goal. Sometimes, women desire to discontinue medications during pregnancy, but to return to them post-partem. Sometimes, people just want to see if they can do without them.

> no one drug is any better that the other even drug companies admit to this..

1) Please present evidence that drug companies admit to this.

2) There is sufficient evidence that Effexor is more effective than Prozac or Paxil.

> we seem to keep going round and round in circles here.. not getting anywhere

I disagree. I think we have progressed quite far.

> Hang in there anyone out there who wants OFF the meds and needs encouragement through withdrawls..

Yes. This is a place for education and support.
