I am offended on so many levels here. First, how do you know what I have and haven't tried? My signature doesn't include everything I've ever done. Second, how dare you insinuate my pdoc is just trying to make money. My pdoc is one of the sweetest, most caring people on earth and if she could cure me by giving me money out of her own pocket she would do it in a heartbeat. Third, I have a long list of meds. But you have no way of knowing how I came by that list or why I have
chosen to take those medications. My decision, my choice, my belief that this is what is
right for ME.
Coming on here and scaring people and insisting their doctors don't know what they are doing is not helping anyone. It's one thing to say "this helps me" and share your experiences but you aren't doing that. You are insisting that we are all stupid for not making the choices you have made. You have no way of knowing that what worked for you would work for us and telling people that, implying that they should dump their meds that are prescribed by someone you don't know but have somehow determined you know their reasoning for providing care, you could cause harm.
I'm glad you have had success. But please share it appropriately and stop making judgments about people and situations you cannot know a thing about.

It's a snowball effect.
If you give your body the nutrients it's needs, you can function. And no one has a prozac deficiency. If you think meds are so effective, read peoples' posts about how bad off they are. It's because their brain doesn't have what it needs to be able to produce the neurotransmitters so you feel normal. Would you blame someone with diabetes for needing insulin? Of course not, but you think taking amino acids so your brain can produce neurotransmitter is nuts. Why? Because the Pdocs would go out of business if all a depressed person had to do was take the right supplements instead of sit in their office once a week for the rest of their life at $100 a visit. Follow the money....
