Yes what u say rose is true psychiatric meds are the only meds u can prescribe with just a symptom not a sign. This is very bad I think. They have no proof of chemical imbalance thats why u see more and more types. What they did was create a condition general anxiety disorder and assigned Paxil to it look in the DSM they have come up with more conditions now than ever. I think they need to focus more on finding a way to get us off the drugs the symptoms we take them for actually get worse when you try to taper it so really it didn't help. By the way heroin was prescribed for depression in the 1920's and Freud prescribed cocaine he also used it himself and Ritalin has almost the same chemical compounds as cocaine its better because it has a longer half life. I'm addicted to this medicine oh I mean dependent.
