anti-d warnings... whats next?

DSF, I do not know what your expressions mean, but I get a kick out of them. LOL!!
"plonker" ? LOL!!
Maybe in "social" forum, some of our members in various countries/continents can have a fun thread of "translations", it may be fun.

Ehehehe :>

Plonker just means 'idiot' really

Well as a "scientist" who clearly does not understand the difference between association or correlation and causation, I can't even see why I am indulging this argument.

i have taken many ssris none really worked for me apart from raising a faint smile,side effects far outwayed any benefits never in my depressions have i been angry with anyone apart from myself! one ssri famous for making folk aggressive, not saying which turned me into an angry violent man,when i told my doc he just switched meds,result ,back to my former depressed self in my opinion they made me violent if the anger was turned towards myself then who knows what could have happened? i'd say take ssris with care ,knowledge and support

Maybe the doc had mis-diagnosed you right off the start?
Before I was DXed by a pdoc, as being mildly bipolar,my GP kept claiming I was clinically depressed and did the whole SSRI variety thing, sadly this happens cause when people are hypomanic and feel alright, they have no reason to seek a doc's visit, but in the depressed state we feel physically crappy which GP's tend to only see.
On the other hand people with real physical/health issues seem to be increasingly getting bushed off as "clinically depressed" while thd doc's miss the real problems or underlying factors pertaining to the patient's actual health.
It's frustrating, several friends and family members had been put at risk, having cancers and/or heart problems that were overlooked as "depression", grrrrrrrrr!!
My mother-in-law almost died and needed bypass surgery, before that she had pulmonary emboli, and in both cases leading up to it her doc would just tell her the pains in her chest were "just anxiety" and kept giving her anti-anxiety meds.
It's scary I know, but we can't discontinue seeking help, I have become more assertive and tell the docs not to tell me my health issues are due to my mental health, and I want to be treated like anyone else and properly DXed.
I know I'm ranting about this, probably due to my own health issue that I kept telling my docs for years that there was something going on and had nothing to due with my DX of depression/bipolar. The only docs I presently have faith in are my pdoc,dentist and veterinarian.
The physician's assistant at my GP is better than many MD's I've seen.
Keep the faith the best you can.
Take care now,
DE

85% of females who complain of chest pain in ERs are sent home............

Ya this is a real problem with mental health types and alot of docs...sad but true. Mental health types do not have enough medical training to know the difference, and most physicians do not have enough mental health training to know much at all. Unfortunately psychiatrists are some of the worst offenders.

Well in my own 3D, it's been the GP's as the worst offenders, and not the pdocs my family,friends and I have been seeing.
But that's just my own experience.

Sounds pretty catch-22 ...
