Fran,
They could be space aliens as far as I'm concerned. People can disagree, strongly, and still maintain a civil tone.
I come here seeking information. I know that the information offered here isn't the gospel on how to treat depressive illnesses.
I guess I just wonder why people are so angry about this disagreement. Just because I've had horrible experiences with certain ADs doesn't mean that they won't be the right key to helping someone else's disease get better. I am too tired due to the current state of my depression right now to launch into why-can't-one-side-accept-that-another-side-does-something-differently debate so I will end this with: there are six billion people on this planet. there are six billion different ways of perceiving and doing things. Why is your way the only way for everyone?

p.s. In the past few years that I've read this board I have seen a wide variety of opinions being offered. I happen to think Dr. Bob maintains a good board. I often do not agree with his warnings or banishments yet understand that without some order here no one could get help in the ensuing chaos.
