SEROTONIN - THE KEY TO THE PSYCHADELIC EXPERIENCE:
.....
I am at a personal crossroads. I've been trying to figure out the best
way to treat my stress disorder in which I manifest physical symptoms
from anxiety. I was prescribed Zoloft but after Paxil did not work and
reading all this it seems that I should only work with a therapist....
How much truth is in this "anti-SSRI" stuff? I know that my chances of
Zoloft helping me aren't great anyway (6 in 10 vs 5 in 10 on placebo).
What do neurologists think about the two "problems" I outlined.
Are Anne Blake Tracy, Peter Breggins, and some of the other "anti-SSRI"
docs "kooks" or is this stuff "legit"?
I.E. Do you think SSRIs cause brain damage or adversely affect the
brain.
Any and all answers are appreciated.
Thank you,
