thanks for the kind words, diane...i appreciate your take on the whole thing, and agree completely that opinions/suggestions can be of use with the right attitude, i.e., if you disagree, don't listen, otherwise, take it in stride...and you make a valid point that many posters post threads directed at a certain (other) poster, so why would i not answer?.....all the best, chemist

Here's my 3 cents worth: I have found "Chemist" (name reminds me of "The Architect" in Matrix Revolutions) to be knowledgeable and compassionate and coherent. Obviously, nobody should do anything based on a single non-practitioner recommendation, especially on a web site. That we need user support/experience points up the dearth of quality, compassionate, mainstream (then again, maybe this is the new mainstream) professional help out there. Many of us have had prescribers with little time or patience (or seemingly, knowledge) about side effects other than what they are fed from the drug companies - you look up on the pdoc's wall to find a promotional item like a clock from the same thing you are being prescribed, and can't help but wonder...The peer experience sharing is invaluable, particularly from those who have trod or are trodding the same path as you.
I can usually smell a rat when I see one - there are the amorous posters courting ladies, the people who get get off on advising others, etc. and other types...but I feel we are getting good help from chemist. Wish there were more like him/her out there.

phil, thank you for the kind words...i am not on this board to validate my self-esteem by generating a long list of relies to various posts. i have contacted both Emme and AMD, and have not heard back from Emme. i try to keep my promises, and do the best i can if someone has an issue that i have experienced or know about via my education and research areas. i also take quite a bit of information from this site that helps me with my condition, and it is reassuring to know that there are many fellow posters who care to take the time to share their experiences...wishing you well, and all the best, chemist

I have not only validated chemist's credentials with the Univeristy of Texas, but I have to stand up for him personally. You people are out of line accusing him of all of this. YOU are the people asking chemist the questions. He is simply responding. I could respond if I wanted to, which I have occasionally, with just as much valuable knowledge as chemist could have provided in many cases. And so could you or anyone else. If you have the knowlodge then show it and people will start saying "hey <fill in username> what do you think about" all of the time, and if that person has the want, or time to answer, they will, just like chemist does and wants to, maybe he wants to help and learn for himself, ever think of that?
I think you people are very jealous probably because he is getting all the attention and your not. Well, start answering other people's messages and gain some credibilty with your knowledge/backround around here and perhaps youll be the one asked questions, and then beaten down to pulp in such the most ironic manner chemist is now...
Sorry for you chemist...just ignore these people.

If I may write a small statement on the behalf of those who are in this modality,concerning the"Chemist"or any other knowledged person who may frequent this and other similar boards:I really think that a big concern is that there are a lot of folks who visit this place who are troubled,sick,or depressed or whatever,and whom many are also taking 1,2,3 or more different meds for different problems,many of them Controlled Substances or tranquilizers,etc.,and some of them post threads asking for advice on taking these meds.This fact,alone,should be evident that these people are,perhaps,a bit unsure or exhibiting symptoms of their illness,by asking such advice.To those"knowledged,intellegent" folks who respond to these pleas,what we,re asking here,is please use your intellegence and discretion when answering these people.Replies,such as in the above thread from an individual asking for specific info on his dosages of 2 Controlled Substances,was answered by one of our members,as a Dr. would have replied,instructing definite dose changes.Wether that was his intention,and it most likely,was not,this desperate,ill individual repied that he would indeed try this dose change.I have seen similar situations end in tragedy on 2 other boards.DO NOT MIS-INTERPRET THIS REPLY.It is merely FYI.Thanks,Festus
