I try to read as much as i can and for all AD´s the exact mechanism of action is not known, the same applies to long-term side effects for using a certain AD. I would NOT take any of my meds if didn't have to, as a matter of fact i hate them. Another aspect is that when you are depressed, anxious or whatever you might not have the energy to undertake an adequate research in each drug that the doctor may prescribe you.

Many of the people here *do* do a lot of research, but of course there is limited information as tensor states. Another issue, besides depression causing apathy, lethargy, and abulia, is that a lot of us are consciously or unconsciously, and to varying degrees, suicidal, and we just don't give a flip what happens to our bodies cuz consciously or unconsciously we don't want/expect them to be around much longer...Others, well, they just want to feel better *now* and are desperate enough to accept what someone in a position of authority.
And as for happy stories... whoever heard of those???
