The smiley represents sarcasm the clue is in the smiley, move your mouse pointer over it and read. Oh yes of course, you being on meds and how you react to them means I should react exactly the same way. Your 40 years of being on meds is irrelevent to how my body reacts to them. It's a bit like someone taking prozac and saying it turned them psychotic and me dismissing is but it didn't give me the same reaction. Alcohol abuse is linked to SSRI's, it's even mentioned as a possible side effect in the US and there's many people who have said they've craved alcohol whilst being on SSRI medication and funny how since I've stopped I no longer have any interest. That's not to say everyone who takes Citalopram or any other SSRI's will have the same reaction and that's not to say I won't drink again. The difference was whilst on this medication I was drinking almost every night and needed to drink whereas I had a drink before because I enjoyed a few beers now and then
Now unless you have the ability to zoom into my body and tell me my cravings for alcohol are a fabrication, I suggest you buzz off and go troll somebody else.
