Why is it that the nice guys finish last?
...and Prozac is one for a multitude of different medications, all of which have slightly different effects and working mechanisms upon brain chemistry. Instead of 24 months of tinkering with one, your doctor should have evaluated whether a different medication would have been more effective.
The drug did what they wanted... it calmed me down, shut me up, and gradually eliminated my impulsive behavior (although that could have just been me maturing too). But you'll notice it's what they wanted. I still felt like a fake. I know it sounds harsh on the therapists and psychologists i had to work with over there, but to be fair to them, they were probably under orders from my school to turn the "problem child" (me) into something they could handle (I first got put on prozac for beating up a guy that was trying to bully me in school). They were at least generous enough to not immediately write me off and prescribe ritalin, and at least give me a chance to work on my impulse problem myself (which I took).
If 60 mg works for you, that's great. 10 mg was too much for me. I don't like feeling fake. I'd rather feel bad and feel like I'm myself than feel good, but fake. Granted, ideally I'd like to feel good and be myself, but if I can only choose one, I'll keep being myself. There's a true solace to be found in being yourself, unmitigated by any mind-altering substances, and that solace keeps me going even in the really bad times. That might be what you're misinterpreting as "enjoying being miserable"...
So until people walk in my shoes and see what I have seen because of drugs, don't preach to me how wonderful drugs and meds are. They bring nothing but pain.
I thought you were going to say this is why you had issues with the female gender, because of latent stuff with your mom.
Well I got a response from a mod over the attack Hale Bop did to Me and Tim Tex. The mod thinks he did nothing wrong. He based this on my past posts and not just what was said. This is great. Whenever I write something that people take as an attack, I get warned. But when I feel attacked by a member the mods don't do anything.
Double standard. Stick to your rules.

Considering the attacks you've made on most of the members as well.

He just sticks to the same faulty circular cycle of thought.

I have worked with you for months, KenM. Yet you have done nothing to improve. That is a double standard the mods rarely give to other members yet you allow it to happen because it is a double standard in your favor.
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself "gee, after putting an avatar on my account with someone giving the finger to the mods, after I have been worked with for MONTHS about how you wanted to see someone get banned for "attacking" you for your vitrolic posts, how come I haven't just been banned?"
That is a good question, KenM. Many members have been banned for less. There are far more people protesting your posts than you protesting theirs. Perhaps we should not have a double standard with you and just bann you now. How's that?

Toad, you sound like a scientologist - not an attack - when you dismiss pills as "Fake happiness." If you refuse to take medication and don't want your depressive symptoms to go away, that's fine, but don't knock people who were in your situation before and chose sanity over being perpetually depressed.

No, Ken. I said that I could not find an attack on you, and that in comparison to your previous posts it was relatively tame in comparison. You should not feel attacked by others on WP; that does not correlate that every time you feel you are being attacked that you actually are. There is a difference between labeling others and attacking them, and responding to your collective posts with their opinion of an observation.

No, unlike ken, I don't see debating your own points as an attack (just don't expect me to sit there and not debate back). Nor do I have any issue with you taking whatever drugs you feel like. I just don't want any drugs overwriting my identity.
