Pill Poppers

Crazy Meds is a helpful guide to psychiatric medications written by the people who use them, with blunt honesty, more scientific rigor than you'd expect, and a very dark sense of humor. Before you start popping Paxil (or anything else), go to Crazy Meds to check out the pros and cons.

Holy crap! My ex/guy/whatever is on Effexor for depression... but they suspect he's bipolar (and he's also an addict), yet apparently this is the _worst_ drug ever to quit (huuuuge withdrawal problems), especially for bipolars (it should only be used as a last resort for them)!!!

Gods, how can I speak to his doctor about this without making him afraid?? He (my ex) mentioned that he was afraid of getting hooked on pills!

:(

@#$&#!!! doctors! You can't trust anyone!
