It qualifies as mine. The alternative is agoraphobia in my case. (fear of leaving the house). I'd rather not live that way, would you?

Travis there is no problem coming off the drug. As Lori pointed out it's not the drug that makes people violent, people are violent are on their own. As for anti depressants, to get off them, it is strongly advised you see your family doctor before doing so. I suggest you research it yourself by consulting a pharmacist and asking them about the procedures, they will tell you the same.

Anti depressants are NOT illegal drugs. They are approved by the FDA (and Health Canada) > "Make better decisions? Again, no offense intended Lori, but

Travis, I suggest you do some research on manic depression and anxiety disorders. As for "psych drugs", the brain is biological. And medication (including what you call psych drugs) are based on biology also.

Good, now, please stop the hysterical judgments. They are based on little more than irrationality and falsehoods.
