i think that there needs to be MUCH closer monitoring of patients on antidepressants for the first month they are on them...the period that the body adjusts to the meds can be very scary..
i think after a while they are helpful, and they have helped me.. but in the short term they are dangerous
but it's not feasible to hospitalize every person that goes on a/d's until they adjust to the meds..so there has to be some other solution that can provide closer monitoring and counseling during the adjustment period
