– Smart perhaps, but it would really sour my husband;s moral sentiments, and mine too – I don’t think we could ever do something as nefarious (tx Eric) as that; Squiggles

Good idea; Actually my husband and I were going to attend some Psychiatry lectures at McGill - open to the public on affective disorders – it looked great – couldn’t go on the date. What I am trying to stress, is not the lack of public knowledge Linda, but rather the lack of cooperation between the public and the drug companies especially; I am well aware of the availability of libraries and university forums.

They do for doctors, usually at very nice locations, in expensive hotels or resorts, and end with the line "Now get out there and prescribe our drug!"

My Dr reads straight off the package insert when he "explains" about drugs. He also told me that never under any circumstances can you increase a Prozac dose above 20 mg/day. I’ve found loads more information/facts/experiences through newsgroups and the web. — Amelia Leave out ‘TheJunk’ before replying

Can your doctor actually read that thing in under 45 minutes?
Response:
Do you think doctors, nurses or medical staff have had experience with drugs like SSRIs and Benzos? Do you think they can empathize or inform the common patient about them, from first hand experience? I would love to get a site where peope who are "the inner circle" could share their valuable and informed experiences; I just don’t find much from this source, e.g. sci.med.pharmacy; Squiggles
