My opinion about meds is that if they help and the side effects aren't too bad then take them. If they don't help or the side effects are too bothersome then don't take them. But don't try to make other people feel guilty for making another choice. I agree that Dr. Mercola is kind of a quack. I wouldn't base any of my treatment decisions on his opinion, but if others want to then they should do so. Unless it doesn't work...and then they should consider something else.
