But seriously, sexual dysfunction due to meds was WAY more depressing than what I was dealing with in the first place. I mean dang, why put me on a med that takes away one of the best things in life?!

It is there responsibility to inform us, Its actualy called "INFORMED CONSENT TO TREATMENT" there was a big post on this in anouther site/forum by someone doing the withdrawal thing. When I goto buy a used car I have to look out for myself, ask questions... an almost ME vs THEM situation, but a doctor BY LAW has to tell me everything. Lets see If I can find a link to this INFORMED CONSENT PSYCHIATRIC thing.

Here is an example,:

"This medication may have these side effects you are not going to like and you can't just stop taking it without possible withdrawal reactions that hurt"

By law I was supposed to be told this !!! Its not my job to "protect myself" from doctors. Sorry to contradict your post when you are on my side but
