Hi Danfalc. I appreciate that u have to make a judgment call on these threads and decide when to close them and when to leave them & that can be very difficult. But, i think u often close a thread just when people are getting to the crux of an issue. Honestly, I think u made a mistake in closing the thread about Psychiatry and medicine. Certainly this is a topic that many of us on here are going to have strong views on! However, strong viewpoints do NOT mean the thread should be shut down! I think Jo1991, Nova & everyone else on that thread had valid points. Sure, there was some swearing & that should be edited, however, the tread should not have been locked. U can't lock every thread that raises different points of view! It was by no means out of hand & I feel u acted too quickly in locking it.

That being said, I think there were some valid points made. My mom is in the social work business & she's seen many people do well on medication. People that couldn't survive w/out their prescribed medication. I've struggled w/taking meds though. My mom has thought that I should but I've fought it for a number of yrs. Why? Because we don't want to think there's something wrong w/our brains.

My philosophy is this. YES! The drug industry is a HUGE industry! There's money to be made in prescription drugs! However, if they Actually help u, what's the problem w/taking them? Is it an industry? Absolutely! What isn't these days? That's why u have to do ur homework and make sure ur doing what's right for you. If taking some prescribed med. will make things easier for you & make u more able to enjoy life, do it! Who gives a flying flammy what ur therapists motives are for prescribing it. If it helps, take it!

But be a responsible consumer. Do ur homework. Get a second opinion. Try different things. If drugs aren't ur way to go, try alternative therapy. Behavioral therapy, message therapy, relaxation techniques, whatever. YOU are the consumer. It's no different than buying a car, leasing an apartment, getting a dog, adopting a cat. Make a responsible choice & be in charge of ur life. Yeah, it's not simple. It takes work. And only u can do the work.

Agree! If some topic is controversial, this is not a reason that it should be locked. I can´t see as wrong when people are arguing, even if it should be heated arguments. These threads also bring out most, and we learn from it. It is also not good if the moderator closes thread because he personally doesn´t agree with something there (which is not now this case I hope). Yes some discussions can be iritating but why to close them because of that, I would give people space to say whatever they think, why to censor someone´s opinions.

As for the second part, I don´t know where the truth is. I started my medicine yesterday, took 20 mg (the lowest dose) of Zeldox in the morning. I feel much better by now, but I guess it´s just because it works like opioid drug a bit, the effect reminds me of Tramal or other opioid painkillers. I didn´t pay anything, although I know this drug is pretty expensive. I wonder if it´s good that I take it because all things that make you feel better without your contribution make me feel suspicious - too good to be true.

I forgot to say, once I took fluoxetione one month but it didn´t do anything, I only had side effects so I stopped it.

The thread wasn't locked because of the opinions contained in it, but because the way they were presented.

Saying **** this and **** that doesn't belong here and even a heated discussion, which happens from time to time, doesn't need to contain it. If you want to submit a rational and evidenced based argument, cursing and getting belligerent for no reason isn't the way to do it.

Im getting sick of this...people seem to forget im just a member like everyone else,just because im a mod doesnt make me any different from anyone else,im not a robot..i cant make a perfect desicion everytime.I try and do my best but someone always thinks you should of handled it differently.

With respect Krs,you didnt see the pm's i got or the stuff i had to edit out,I also stated in the thread that I didnt want to lock it because i also found the topic intresting,then then it decended it personal attacks.The thread was not locked because it was controversial,it wasnt because i agreed or disagreed.it was locked because people were personaly attacking each other.It wasnt even a debate,people were telling each other to go effing preach elsewhere,which in my eyes isnt a constructive arguement.

But im sorry for trying to be a good mod and stopping people rip each other to bits.
