I was on Paxil for two days. My doctor scolded me for not giving it long enough to work, but the drug made me constantly nauseated and unable to sleep.
Turned out that my extreme fatigue and lethargy was not due to depression, but a hormonal imbalance and low-grade infection from an ovarian tumor.
Medicine will continue to be a hit-and-miss sport unless doctors endeavor to treat the source of an illness instead its symptoms.

I think an awful lot, perhaps too much, of most Doctors’ continuing education comes not from reading journals and papers, but from the drug company representatives that come round to see them frequently (with scads of sample pills to boot).

One of the problems in the military is that they give a 180 day supply to soldiers. In April of 2012 they changed their recommendations and are trying to decrease some meds as they were increasing the impact of PTSD.

I was placed on Paxil once. About two weeks into taking it my bladder completely blocked on me. My medical records after the Paxil experience and several other antidepressant experiences has NO ANTIDEPRESSANTS in them.

Medicine will continue to be a hit-and-miss sport unless doctors endeavor to treat the source of an illness instead its symptoms. If you think it's bad now, just wait until the smart kids quit going into medicine because of ObamaCare... it's gonna get a lot worse.

If you read the side effects of most of the drugs doctors are ‘pushing’ these days, you’d come to the conclusion that the cure is worse than the disease. They call it practicing medicine. I call it malpractice.
