what is this drug!!!!!

Anna_Anna · 12-23-2011, 07:45 AM

Hi all,

if the doctors give this kind of drug and they known't what happen when we reduce paxil, the question is what kind of poison we are taking during years?

Thanks,

Anna

It's a poison---from what I've read these antidepressants are worse than cocaine & heroine for some...and I was always so clean and never did drugs nor abused alcohol and then I fell for this trap and now my brain is a mess

The sad thing is that, when I first started taking Paxil, a voice in my head told me that the medical profession knew nothing about long-term side effects and the aftermath, Still, we can each say that we were so desperate to take SOMETHING to help us out, with side-effects be damned, right? That was me, anyway.

I'm just so thankful for a site, such as this, that makes unhinging from the medicine a viable option.
