I'll take the original any day.

History:

1995--Prozac--Quit CT by GP

1995--Effexor--Quit per my GP

1996--Amitriphene--Quit CT when changed GP

2005--Citalopram and BusPar. Prescribed when I decompensated in my GP's office. GP referred me to behavior health. Psychiatrist prescibed these drugs. Taken off citalopram in 2011 due to FDA warning. Quit Buspar during transition to viibryd.

Viibryd--2011 to present. Had a severe reaction in March 2012. Advised both GP and Psychiatrist I was trying to get off these drugs.

Mad psuedoscientist - want to tell the commenters that they're studying pure fraud and that they are the joke of medicine (all relative)-

Just so show the effect these meds had on me, I actually laughed and thought it was funny when I was on them.

 

Now, I am embarrassed that I felt that way.
