> I know this is probably a mute point to all who have posted on this site, but I think there is an important message here that we need to pass the word on. Research your meds! I found so much more information by simply using Google than my doctor ever told me. Over the last few days, and many conversations, I've seen that people have too much faith in their Dr.s This is no slam to Dr.s, but as someone was nice enough to point out (I get it now by the way) Dr.s are human too. We need to be proactive in with own bodies and what we put in them. I thought I asked enough questions, I thought she would tell me what I needed to know. Now, I am more informed and will be drilling my Dr on all and any meds I take from now on. Below are some of the sites I found and I hope they might be of some help for others.

>YEP, I have those sites under my favorites. Along with a hundred or so other links on these disorders. I go to about 10 boards!!!! Most show up on them for a few reasons. They want to know if others suffer as they do, they want to know if their symptoms are normal or they want to know about side effects from meds. These are the reasons most find these boards. Here are 2 of my favorite links!!!!!!!!!!
