[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 131619, member: 1233"] I totally LOVE statistics! You can make them say a whole lot of things. I would not have an oldest son with-o SSRI antidepressants. And for me, if I get depressed I want to smoke, very very badly. And have for periods of time. But if I get my prozac adjusted the desire/urge to smoke goes away and I have very little trouble stopping. With medications, it is amazing the amount of research that is commissioned by the drug companies and then supressed. Usually in the name of marketing. The way the sample is designed is crucial in assessing ANYTHING, and so often research just is NOT well designed. I think that stopping any medication should be under a doctor's advice, and so should many other things. I do wonder how they picked the sample in this study to best get reliable results that can be duplicated. Because, if the study cannot be duplicated it is not scientifically accurate. To medicate or not is a HUGE decision for yourself, much less for your child. So we each have to follow our instincts and work with both our doctors AND our medicines. [/QUOTE]
