    In the beginning, people were reporting that shit. Then lawyers got involved. This is when the SHTF. Because we don't know if we are going to end in court or not, we prefer to shut up and let them bath in filth.

    Since my white cells were higher than normal and I acutely lack energy, I think it could have been more thoroughly investigated. It would have ended being cheaper and more effective. I got started on SSRI by a general MD, and then went to a highly regarded specialist in the field. It did not helped that schizophrenia background exist in my family and my relatives went out of their way to steer the doctors in that direction. I still believe the doctors butched this one out of laziness. Since I live in a country whit public healthcare, I have little chance to fight in court and get back damage for the butched job. Only when I got an acute crisis, did the healthcare system investigated out of concern for my life, which was real. The only thing that kept me alive was a strong immune system and good lifestyle habits. After that was said and done, I am just glad to be healthy again.

    It would be nice to have some tests to determine if the problem is related to some chemical imbalance. I know I a, asking for a lot, but I also find the current medicine to be quite easy to diagnose this or that based on few symptoms. Taking SSRI when you dont need them is a very difficult experience to go through, much worse than anything I can think of. It made me either a complete zombie or very violent depending on the drug they tested. A simple echography would have shown the root cause and avoided the whole mess. I may have been victim of crappy doctors, but the taste in my mouth is very sour after all this. It just seems to me that doctors should spend more time in school, and less time on golf courses or cruises with pharma reps.

    The less we "try and see what happens" with drugs messing with the brain's chemical balance the better. I am just glad I finally went under the knife, recovered wonderfully and to be back to work. However, I lost a little fortune in time out of work, plus the nightmare that are those drugs when you don't need them.

    I had internal infections misdiagnosed as depression for over 4 years before physical symptoms appeared. This is a good thing to avoid these kind of errors in the future. How the hell can a doctor prescribe SSRI without measuring the actual levels first?

    We don't have IT right now. I just happened to have (10+ years) experience in it, but I am employed to grow the corporate image and bring constance to communications. It is not my project, it is my boss's project. I mainly want for her not to look too clueless so the project have a slight chance of success and not too much rape and pillage from the consultant team.
