People assume the doctors know how to fix it. The doctors make a best guess based on previous case studies and theories, not fact. It's all a guessing game, using the patient as a guinea pig.
They can't even tell you what the long term effects are on your system with any of those SSRI psychotropic drugs. They never tell you how hard it is to get off of some of those SSRI's. Anybody that is considering using SSRI's should definately do their own research before starting any of those meds because the medical community neglects to mention any of the drawbacks or repercussions.

I'll never take an SSRI, and if the doctor advises it I'm going to tell him no. It is my health, so I also have a say in what can be done to help. Doctors can suggest, but the patient ultimately makes the final decision of accepting that doctor's treatment or not. SSRIs are way too dangerous, and I am taking paper work there to prove it just incase he doesn't give me the medication I prefer.
