Thread Name: BS: Chemical antidepressants -- yea or nay?
Subject: RE: BS: Chemical antidepressants -- yea or nay?
Harlowpoet, if you read my previous posts, you will note that I have already done everything I can possibly do without chemical intervention. The sad truth is, even the medical community doesn't exactly know what the specific underlying causes of depression really are. Not enough serotonin? Sure, but why? They don't know. Everyone's experience with depression is different. Some people won't need pharmaceuticals. Others of us will.

Would you tell a person with diabetes not to take insulin? I doubt it.

Week Four of Prozac. I feel great. I'm still waiting for that long list of horrible side effects.
