It especially scars me when publications come out after these medicines have been prescribed for many years. I sometimes feel depressed too, but i hate to rely on medications to feel better.

You're right in thinking that SSRIs have been oversubscribed - and will continue to be so I fear.

I have taken duloxetine for some time now and I have no doubt at all that it works. Admittedly it has side effects, some of them more worrying than others, but it has taken the edge off of some pretty nasty symptoms just as my CPN said it would. Are these stories not mis-representing the facts... and is it not the case that what is actually being reported is inappropriate prescriptions rather than inefficient medicine?
