Doctors don't know everything...........
There was a fascinating show on PBS last night regarding depression. There was this guy on so many antidepressants and antipsychotics I am amazing his liver is still in one piece. He also had to take a weight control pill to control the side effects from all the drugs. He had to go through 7 years of experimenting to get the right combination. He also had to see his psychiatrist once a week. I could not imagine having to keep such a stringent pill schedule just not to be depressed. I do agree with Eddie regarding SSRI, I also don't consider them a legitimate drug that cures an ailment, they are a crap shoot.
I think people are really gullible when it comes to doctors, they believe everything that is told to them and it is not always the right advice. I went to a pulmonologist the other day for a lung problem I had recently and he was clueless, I knew more about my condition then he did. I am a smart and meticulous researcher I think he was confused and angry because I challenged his knowledge. My psychologist knew more about my condition then this so called specialist. Most doctors do not like me because I don't let them manipulate me. In all my life I have completely trusted only three doctors and one of them is my cat's vet.
