Data point of one.

I went to the ER once for breathing difficulties on morning. I have had pneumonia before, walking and with hospitalization.

I got into an exam room, where I promptly vomited a commendable amount of mucous into the sink. The doctor came in, was informed of the vomiting, and my history of respiratory problems.

I was informed, after the most cursory of exams, that I had anxiety and was prescribed paxil, at twice the normal starting course for adults.

I went home and took it as directed. My respiratory issue did clear up (In hindsight, I think it was from sleeping on my back/drainage. I just didn't want to risk it turning to pneumonia...again. That shit is awful.)

I had a months worth of Paxil. After 4-5 days I was sick. Very sick. Unpleasant Hallucinations, feeling extremely poorly, avoiding light.

I disposed of the remainder of the prescription and amazingly, I was all well again.

These drugs are handed out like candy, at "eh, whatever" dosages, for the most bs excuses. Almost as if the doctors don't care about the patients and they have a quota or some shit.

I was on half these meds at one point or another when I was younger. I have no doubt that they can make you snap if you have underlying issues. I'm not an angry person, but taking prozac turned me into a rage monster for months after I stopped taking it. ADD meds made me way smarter, but completely ruined all impulse control until the comedown. I'm lucky I got off of them fast, because they undoubtedly can have lasting effects, especially in kids where brain chemistry being out of wack is a normal part of puberty.

I have a hunch most of these people did not need these drugs, and decided to stop taking them all at once.

Zoloft. there has been studies showing strange unexpected effects of sertraline on certain pathways not related to serotonin.
