If they think they are sad, they will feel elated and happy. If they think they have social anxiety or Asperger's syndrome, they will likewise act accordingly.</p> <p>Another thing - after stopping with those medications, my body quite literally never accepted them again. Actual physical symptoms that I thought I was treating, like seizures, also suddenly ended. I'm not saying what that means. That's just what happened.</p> </div></div></div> Mon, 02 May 2022 03:34:26 +0000 Orion comment 316804 at http://dagblog.com And here's just a few http://dagblog.com/comment/316773#comment-316773 <a id="comment-316773"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/link/elon-musk-attacks-antidepressant-wellbutrin-35323">Elon Musk Attacks Antidepressant Wellbutrin </a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>And here's just a few examples of a ton of people who I saw reacting to what he said by protesting that Wellbutrin helped them enormously, like a miracle:</p> <div class="media_embed"> <blockquote height="" width=""> <p>Wellbutrin worked wonders for me.

Yes, medicine, if it's honest, will inform patients that they don't understand what they do, BUT CONTINUALLY PROMOTING THEY ARE DANGEROUS FOR ALL will simply end up in them being removed from the market and hurting a ton of people for which they do a miraculous job of helping </p> <p>HERE'S MY PASSION: after a lifetime of dealing with miserable medical results, I feel different from you about what is the MOST DANGEROUS THING RUINING THE MOST LIVES -</p> <p>and that is treating educated patients who can read and understand at like 8th grade level that they are idiots who cannot make informed decisions about treatments and decide what's working for them and what is not, that  they don't know their own body.</p> <p>That is the main problem today (including "treating to test" and protocol medicine as if humans are identical robots) especially as medicine is an art not a science, and furthermore it is an art that is still in its infancy in all but a few specialities. They still understand shit about things basic physical things like cholesterol, blood pressure, weight control and type 2 diabetes and they understand less than shit about chemical processes of the brain</p> <p>It is inhumane to take any prescription drugs off the market that are helping a significant number of people no matter how many other people they hurt. Inform the patient, and let them decide. The prescription itself is enough of a safeguard! If the doctor doesn't understand that the patient is the boss and he/she is the adviser, you need another doctor, the doctor is the problem, not the drugs.</p> </div></div></div> Sun, 01 May 2022 07:29:27 +0000 artappraiser comment 316773 at http://dagblog.com
