#2 Just remember, the science was all worked out on this, anything to the contrary was anecdotal and rumor, but the National Health people say it's OK (because Big Pharma tells them so), so shut up and take you pills.

#3 My experience in caring for a friend who takes SSRIs:

90% of the time the drugs work as designed. !0% of the time (without pattern or warning) it has the exact opposite effect of what's expected or desired. Then its like being on a run-away freight train as you try to real him in.

#4 Yes, this is a problem. But also 890 is an awfully small percentage of 89,000. And no, we apparently have no idea how SSRIs work, nor why they don't work for everybody who is given them.

But I've seen a young person who didn't get relief from SSRIs experience complete relief in only four hours from Scopalamine. Small risk vs. big reward? I'll take it, knowing that a careful watch is needed in the early stages.
