Zinco, Love it!

Great response. Genuine experience in the matter. I hope you're doing much better now. I really appreciate you sharing your story with me, and hopefully I can learn plenty from it.

I think for me, I never used my medication as a medication, I abused it. I'd take 2 pills a day, then three, then none for a week, then three again.

As for the alcoholism, I too have my reservations, but since being on Zoloft, I certainly experienced a euphoria that just wasnt there when I drank before. I'm prone to addictive behaviours. I have a propensity to overdo just about everything, including alcohol, but it never used to give me the sky high to come down rollercoaster like half a gram of MDMA did!

I'm glad we agree on the meds being handed out like candy. I've never even seen a psychiatrist. I haven't managed to get referred. I've asked my GP on numerous occasions, and she doesn't think it's necessary - seriously. She just hands me another signed piece of paper and tells me to keep her updated... I have switched GP's since then, though.
