I have a friend who is on zoloft, he doesn't take it because he says it makes
him feel bad.  I wonder, what are the side effects of zoloft?  If my memory
serves, which often as not it doesn't, zoloft has some significant side
effects.  I am wondering if he should be taking it.  And don't anyone tell
me that he should be taking it just becuase a doctor perscribed it.  I have
been told by multiple doctors and read in lots of books that if a drug is
not working or is making you feel bad that you should discontinue use im-
mediatly and consult your physician.
It seem to me that a lot of these phyciatrists are just playing hit or miss.
My girlfriend went through this same thing.  They started her out on prozac
and changed her perscriptions to what seemed to be random, "lets see if this
works" drugs.  How can a person perscribe mind altering drugs to another per-
son when we don't even understand how the brain of a sea-slug works, much
less an infinatly more complex human mind.
I guess what I am trying to say is that psyciatry should be kept as with
psycotherepists and the like.  Not perscribing drugs, but trying to help
the people deal with their problems.  I won't argue that sometimes people
need those drugs, but the cases of need are much less and should be perscibed
by a physician under counceltation with a phyciatrist.  I guess what I am
saying is that I don't trust those guys.  Do you know what I am saying?
