LET ME ADVISE EVERYONE TO GO ONLINE AND STUDY THEIR MEDICATIONS FOR THEMSELVES - psychiatrists can be hazardous to your health and may cause death when used often without the necessary precautions.

True, true, Sammy.
The pdocs and their staff, in my experience,
have never once ever spoken of any potential side effects of these drugs.
I'd always inquire of my friendly neighborhood pharmacist when I filled the rx.
But sometimes we just don't have that option.
