The horrors of modern life pale in comparison to the horrors of war ... don't they? Because it is generally the horrors of modern life that perhaps most people need their anti-depressants for.

Is it abnormal to feel intense, heart-wrenching grief after your soulmate of 35 years passes away? If not, then why is medication needed to deal with that?

However, if you feel a constant malaise, depression, or paranoia because you can read the news and put two and two together, then you need some more Celexa, Paxil, Zoloft. There's nothing wrong with us, it's all you, so take these pills and you can be like us.

If America weren't so heavily medicated, it would have already consumed itself.

Paxil sux period. No emotions....it was like a bad 3 day acid trip getting off the stuff. Tried something else....felt like i was on acid all day.
No matter what, the war bothered me. Even though paxil numbed my emotions, I still had a conscience.

No more pillz for me....

Here are a couple examples of what the Bible says will be happening in the last days...

Jesus said in Matt. 24:12 "Because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."

2 Timothy 3:1-4 "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God."

Sounds like the 6 o'clock news to me.

But there is also very good news if people are willing to accept it.

OK. i will try to behave as if i haven't heard this before.

would you like to elaborate ?

i'm trying to ask that question without allowing sarcasm to affect my tone.

the bizarre thing is - it's the Christians i know who are the most enthusiastic supporters of American state-sponsored terrorism.

if Christians can believe in Salvation, proceeding from faith, why can't they understand that it's REALLY un-neighborly to spread toxic nuclear waste all over a nation halfway around the world (tons and tons of depleted uranium munitions, manufactured by ATK among other corporations, spread all over Iraq) ?

here's a picture of a sculpture created by a Christian named George W. Bush.



when George Bush the Christian gave the word to launch the b*mbs that killed this man's daughter, was he doing God's work, End Days ?

- - -

getting back to the original question, i realize, a lot of the people i know who could care less about our destruction of Iraq are not taking SSRI anti-depressants.

Yes, IMO they do. My experience with them caused "zero critical thinking" I just went along with the rest of the crowd.

If you can create a problem that people believe in, you can profit from it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')octors from the University of Allopath have announced that Love is a disease. It is characterized by abnormal heart rhythms, sweating, impaired brain function, incoherent speech patterns and loss of sleep, among other signs. Thanks to this pioneering work from researchers sponsored by the leading drug firm Pferck, researchers have learned that love is a common biochemical disorder affecting both men and women of all ages.

Fortunately, it is treatable with prescription drugs. A new drug, Miserexa, combines beta blockers and antidepressants to alleviate the symptoms of Love. This drug slows the heart and helps patients feel detached from reality, counteracting the unhealthy neediness of Love.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the new drug this week. In a press conference, chief FDA drug approval scientist Dr. B. Fuddle said, "We are declaring war on Love, and doing everything in our power to eradicate Love from the world."

The market for Miserexa is expected to reach six billion dollars annually. "Love has reached epidemic proportions," explained a public relations representative of Pferk. "If we do not act immediately to thwart the spread of this disease, Love will run rampant, and we will be facing an epidemic of Love in the world."

If you can think of any conditions that could be restated as a disease call the guys at your friendly global Pharma company.

This site is home to the most depressing collection of people in the world. Seriously, I'm amazed at how you guys do it.

I am not, and I can't see how I ever would be. From what I hear, a large proportion of Americans is. Is my assumption true?

Paradoxically, I think a life that involves a daily challenge to meet our families daily survival needs will be much less depressing than our current lives where all our basic necessities are taken for granted and we are preoccupied with electronic entertainment to relieve our boredom and loneliness from our auto dependent suburban lives.

those drugs are like chemical lobotomies. often with permanent emotional impairment. shit id recomend someone turn to illegal drugs before they take that soma. i have two old friends who unfortunatly are junkies with the herion. (btw im a beer drinker ONLY, raises glass to guinness extra stoudt) at least they can think beyond circuit 2 and can hold a conversation about metaphysics or a conversation with emotion in it. stoned on junk or not. my friends on anti-depressents (any of them whatever the RX of brain coma) are not capable of doing shit except their job and basic functions. emotional zombies. hell most of them were more functional and interesting people when they wernt on the prescriptions and trying to kill themselves (or halfassing it). and if you take those pills you can kiss your critical thinking skills goodbye. seriously. and as to the story of the parents who were prosecuted for not giving their child ritalin id like to comment. i read that story a few months back but i cannot remember where.

i have adhd. my parents (mother) was a hypocondriac who sent us to expensive doctors who would take money to confirm and medicate according to what she was paranoid about in us. so im also diagnosed with dyslexia, discalcula (i do have problems with math), depression, and tourrets syndrome for which i was placed on low dose HALDOL! yeah my attention span isnt great. but jesus christ depacote, haldol and adderal? needless to say i didnt begin my emotional or psychic development until i started flushing those pills. kids need dicipline, willpower willposer willpower, and direction to focus. drugs simply dont do that. they just flatline your kid. and as for the arguement that speed (ritalin, adderal) ect is good for ADHD kids, its a scam! anyone with low dose amphetamine in a time release pill will concentrate better because their brain is on speed. "learning disabled" or not. good luck forcing me to drug my kids in such a manner.

Never touched any of that big pharma crap. Ever.

I don't even get prescriptions filled. Went to the doctor last summer for what I thought was a broken rib. He told me that it was a broken rib and prescribed a bunch of crap and I didn't even waste time stopping at a pharmacy on the way home.

4 days a week at the gym (or working on my properties), scuba diving and cycling are my drugs. A good viognier or pinot grigio or riesling followed by Warre's 10 or 20 year Porto once or twice a week is also part of my program. Life (MINE anyhow) is too good for anything else. Come to think of it, a good Shiraz or Merlot is also welcome if i order surf & turf

[NEOPO]

Thank god we have good government who allow good doctors to come up with these good drugs.

I'm not on anti depressants , however I do get shit faced every two days, every night. The Titanic is sinking so I'm getting drunk, at least I will feel good when all this ends. I'm saving a few Jack Daniels for when the world ends.

[Kingcoal]

I recommend this antidepressent. It works wonders.
