[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 587344, member: 15907"] Susiestar: But NO there are NO withdrawal symptoms, because these aren't "addictive!" Excuse me while I laugh hard enough to puke. Note my comments about Zoloft. I don't remember any kind of withdrawal effect from the Prozac, but I was a completely different person at that time, it was simply for ADHD-related anxiety. And for the transient nature of the stressors, it worked just fine. I knew someone who did medical transcription jobs years ago, that person heard on one of the tapes pharmaceutical reps dismiss the concerns of weight gain side effects in psychiatric patients as "...the fatties won't care anyway." Frankly, while I'm at the point of OK'ing anti-anxiety medications for Kiddo, the reality I see is that the human brain is a big greasy dartboard, and the pharm researchers and psychiatrists are basically throwing chemical darts at the brain to see what sticks. I'm just not going there again - heck, I have on my records that if you have to give me steroids for any life-threatening condition, be prepared to strap me to the bed because of how they affect me. Vodka is about the strongest psychoactive drug I'll allow in my body these days. :) [/QUOTE]
