I have major problems with anyone who is not a specific person's M.D. advising people not to or to stop taking their meds. I left another group because there was a person doing exactly that.

What do you hear when some poor sucker that goes shooting up a bunch of people and they say he had mental problems? He went off his meds!!!

There are side effects with medications, often they subside with continued use and usually they are not as severe as the big "S".

I think each of us is an individual and we can't advise someone else based on our experience because we are not the other person's physician.

I personally don't want to be responsible if someone doesn't take medication they really need based on something I say, and then does away with themselves and maybe others.

just sayn,
