    Good for you Robred! If I'd not fallen for the hype of ssri's my son would not have gone through the nightmare of paxil use and withdrawal. This is a decision that I will regret for the rest of my...

    lsyorke replied to Attheana's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks Earle, there are times when I think I'm the only one who questions things. Another concern is that while billions of dollars are being made on the sale of ssri's, that we are slowly discovering...

    lsyorke replied to Jo Anne -OLD's topic in Psychiatric

    People have done it that way, but through experience we've found that everyday dosing works much better. If you look at the halflife of paxil it makes more sense. It is speculated now that 65% (drug...
