LOL sorry Doc but I really have seen the bad side of it. And I've seen the good side of it too. The bad side was with my wife whom a shrink gave Trazodone and Zoloft. Several attending ER physicians at two hospitals and two shrinks all missed it. I came home about day 5 into it after she relapsed and typed in Trazodone +Zoloft and I had her diagnoses in seconds. Getting the doctors to believe it was not easy. But hey when it's the teaching hospitals Pharmacology Professors alert on Serotonin Syndrome then they kinda have to say well yea maybe LOL.

Seriously after they Finally did a CT scan at day 5 it showed a bleeder in the brain and she left the hospital with partial amnesia. The Xanax she was taking with the Zoloft and Trazodone was likely why it didn't kill her.

I had a rough time with them because I have a form of GAD that antidepressants can not be used to treat. I'm strictly auditory and visual sensory triggered. I go into myoclonic seizures at certain sounds and visual stimulation.. Needless to say I did not need my sensory uptake inhibited LOL. I fought and won that one after I figured out just what the heck was really wrong with me about two years into it. I did finally find a doctor who knew how to correctly treat it and would listen. A half MG of Xanax four times a day and no antideprrssants. I also found out what Paxil could do to a mans bladder. My medical training came in handy on that one.
