ahhh, sh!t!!!
I'm not familar with either source. The first evidenly is selling a book. The second is a political action group. By itself, that doesn't mean either one is wrong, but, it sets up a reason to question their conclusions. Both have something to gain.
That being said, I know at one time, I was HIGHLY overmedicated, and it happened just as the post said; put on an SSRI, and got stoned out of my mind! They then called me bipolar. Only then did I refuse to go along with their "treatment" and got off all the meds I was on -- except the anti depressant. But, Welbutrin is not an SSRI nor a tricyclic, either. This article addresses only the tricyclics and SSRI's. So, where does that leave me?
I think the jury is still out. I'll continue following my doctor's recomendations until I find it problematic. And, he's a great "team" player; he listens and acts upon my concerns and doesn't push medication. So, till there's a definative answer, that's the best I can do.
Good and important article, bike. Thanks for bringing it to the fore.
Shalom!
