the conspiracy theory is an interesting notion... do you have some evidence that i am being 'manipulated and don't even know it'? who do you think is manipulating me?

and who do you think is responsible for the propoganda, and what does the propaganda say? (i think i might have missed that).

i'm not so much concerned about the 'safety' of SSRI's as i'm concerned about their effectiveness. if the harmful side effects are due to psychological withdrawal or biological withdrawal doesn't really matter to me. stack them up on the 'harm' side of the equation either way, i say...
