Article We're still asking the wrong questions about antidepressants

And you repeatedly ignore long-term benefits, because you're a lazy, quick fix person. You'd rather use a short-term crutch for life than put in any effort to improve your own coping skills.

Who said meds are short term? I've been taking them for 20 years and they still work. Hence meds as the quickest and most efficient long-term treatment. Nothing lazy about it. And if you don't think I've learned how to live a more positive and less depressed life on my own, you have no clue as to the power of self-improvement and personal growth. No sciency therapy required.

Meds are short-term because you can't go off them for any significant length of time without serious repercussions. Doesn't matter how many years you've relied on a quick fix.

I've actually gone off several antidepressants with no side effects. It's called tapering where you are weaned off it by your prescriber in smaller and smaller doses until it is cleared from your system. And eventually I found the antidepressant that works for me. Nothing short term about it.

Yeah, I already knew you were a weaner.
You couldn't just quit and only did it to find another quick fix. 9_9

Nope..not a quitter. I stuck with it until I found the one that works. Just as 60% of patients do. Sorry if that bursts your blame bubble. Now go surf lesbian midget porn or whatever it is you do to get off..

LOL! Trying to tout that you're not a quitter of your quick fix. Yep, they weaned you like a baby and put you on different formula until they found one your sensitive tummy could handle. 9_9
Congratulations for not developing a tolerance to your drug of choice. Must make you very proud. Many crackheads would save tons of money if they could do the same. If it were any of your own doing, you could teach others.
Now go drool over Mamdani, who can't even bench 135 without help.

[Magical Realist]

Ooopsie! Tipped your hand there. Now I know you're just trolling.

Couldn't possibly be tit for tat with your obvious ad hom. The difference being that you have actually said you find Mamdani attractive.
