I told my Primary Dr this story and he recommended I get on an SSRI for depression. I said "Not a chance" I've seen people trying to get off SSRI's and it looks like someone on heroin. He said, What is it you have against doctors? I said, "I just told you!" I said, "Would you give me Vicodin?" He said that's up to your knee doctor.
These are America's best and brightest.
“These are America’s best and brightest.”
There isn’t a professional in the bunch, they are all practicing!
SSRI's to certain patients can be far more dangerous than Valium, Xanax, or similar Benzo tranquilizers. I have a bad back among several other medical issues and when it goes out {usually once a year for a few days} Hydrocodone works and I take it just a few days till I'm functional.
I've taken Xanax daily several times a day for 16 years though LOL. No one no doctor will ever get me to take an SSRI again nor especially have my wife to take them. I among amongst the ones who can not take them and so is my wife a 26 year Xanax user. We have first hand for ourselves seen what SSRI's can do to persons who have a severe adverse reaction to them. They too can kill you taken as directed but you'll not hear about it from most doctors.
