But I gather you reported this to your doc, right? That is the first step people on meds and feel an unfavorable side effect happening.
This controversary of AD's causing depression, ther is the other side of the fence, I read, and note this is just what I read in the paper this morning within this article on the front page in regards to this FDA warning, a group also brought up that it may have not been the AD's that were the cause, they claimed the disease of depression as it runs it course leads to suicide, eventually if not treated or at least recognized by family, friends and the person him or herself.
Such meds on the other hand have helped thousands, and also helped prevent suicides, I do not see anyone seeing that side, typical of the news, dwell on the negatives and do not show people the other side of things.
It boils down to that a patient needs to be responsible for themselves when taking meds of any kind not just AD's to report to their doc of any ill effects, I mean, almost all pharmacies or maybe all always include a MSDS or safety monograph listing possible side effects and to report certain concerns to your doc immediately. I am not taking anyone's sides here, but all meds dispensed come with warnings, the docs (almost all) explain the risks, if not a person should ask as many questions on the risks, or side effects.
My personal opinion, is that people are looking for escape goats, like smoking, it has been decades now that people have been warned about the dangers of smoking, there are people sueing the tobacco companies for the cancer or illness they have developed, blaming them and not taking on the responsibilty, the fact that they chose to continue to smoke, they chose the risk. Sorry, actually that was a digression, but what I am trying to make a point of is that one needs to look at both sides, weigh the risks with the benefits of meds, foods, etc. see what outweighs, then go with what will benefit you and your physical and mental well being.
Geesh, just living, breathing our air, drinking our water, etc. come with risks, side effects and outcome.
I pray for some positive new cures for all that ails us, especially mental disorders.
Finally, DE has finished and is leaving her "soap box" for today, ha!ha! All warmed up for someone to take over, ha!ha!

Thanks gang, for adding on to this thread, sort of like us reading "current events" and talking about them as most of us did in school, for me, a very long time ago

Take care y'all,
DE
