If I may just interject here because I see now why things have gotten heated...

Venus never said anyone is idiotic for taking meds, she also never said choosing meds isn't valid or is a bad choice.

What she and 2 other posters were saying is that Pharma doesn't have the patient's best interest at heart, pharma is about the bottom line (evil) and whether you agree with this or not is not my point. My point is that you weren't being judged for being medicated. That's not how we do things here on this board.

as Trippin' said, I never judged that.

I am all for informed choice. Notice my rants are all against Pharma not their clients. Use whatever you want, but search for info in many places.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
