Well for your info, I take zoloft. I would rather die ( Which I probably would, by my own hand ) then go back to being the way I was.

All those side effects don't happen at the same time to the same person. Or to most people for that matter. Those are rare cases and should be seen as that. Do you read about these things? ( Besides the anti-SSRI sites ). And before you say it, allergies to penicillin are rare. I'm allergic to it. Should we take it off the market? I say no.

OH, look at the side effects of penicillin:

Black, hairy tongue; irritation of the mouth or throat; mild diarrhea; nausea; upset stomach; vomiting. Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); bloody stools or urine; fever, chills, or persistent sore throat; severe or persistent diarrhea; stomach pain or cramps; unusual bruising or bleeding; vaginal irritation or itching; worsening of skin lesions.

and another really common drug, and it's side effects:

Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); black or bloody stools; confusion; diarrhea; dizziness; drowsiness; hearing loss; ringing in the ears; severe or persistent stomach pain; unusual bruising; vomiting.

Should we take it off the market?

"NO ONE should have to worry about mass murder and suicide"

Prove that mass murders are caused by SSRI's. How may are just copy cats? How many were there before 1987, when prozac came out? I would have probably committed suicide without the medication. I might have a few side effects (none on your list ), but It's the difference between night and day ( literally ) in my life.

I will fight to my last breath to keep from going into that hole again.

One more thing. You said it helped people, but now you want to ban it? Have you ever suffered through panic attacks that lasted 3 months, or depression that lasted years?

Do you *REALLY* have any clue? It doesn't sound like it from your posts.
