Okay, there have now been one too many articles stating SSRIs are no more effective than placebo.
So fuck it, I'm quitting. Made my first reduction in dose a week and a half ago... so far, so good. My brain already feels clearer.

Thanks for digging that up. I'm trying to get just about every girl I know off Prozac. They are all on the stuff only because they are sad when they don't have a boyfriend. HELLO ...that's fucking normal!! I hate doctors that will just perscribe anything to make a buck. I've always believed that if you activley change the parts of your life that you are not happy about then the rest will just fall into place. I know there are a lot of people in this forum who reley on such drugs and I'm not one to be the judge if they need it or not, but I can tell you that many of my friends don't ...they just need more positivity in their lives.

Never fear, Canni is here, and he brought his faithful sidekicks, Pepe, his Mariache boys, and a 1000 count box of trojans...

The brain is a very powerful organ. An excerpt from the article damien_s_lucifer referenced:
"'...We don't really understand psychiatric disorders at a biological level.' Patients with similar symptoms, he explained, may have different problems with their brain chemistry. Scientists don't understand the neural mechanisms of depression -- or why medicines like Prozac and Paxil work."
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are a miracle for some folks. Although, I imagine they are over prescribed. I find it amazing with all the intellect in this world, no one understands psychiatric disorders at a biological level. We can send men to the moon, look beyond the Milky Way with a telescope, but the human body eludes scienctists on so many levels.

Anti-depressants are bullshit, and I would NEVER, EVER take them. Not only do they fuck you up in SSRI/MAOI combos, they numb EVERYTHING emotional.

I doubt that I have any actual problems, but I'd love to get my hands on some ritalin. I'd like to see how well I can focus my attention on tests or games while on the stuff.

Well. Very well. That stuff is a godsend, however, I certainly slip into the realm of "abuse" on that shit, since I go through 75 pills in about 5 days.

it is very interesting how much of workings of the brain are still understood in best guess form only.

i would have agreed with you until about a week ago, ic0n0. but i have noticed a definate increase in emotional content lately. not the major ones so much as the little ones.
it's strange, but lately I've been walking around going "wow... I feel things. This is cool."
