@jiafawang2468 I still cant believe how uncivilized and fucked up morally these scumbags r. they put profits in front of ppl and it is killing us slowly. be open minded and fix ur problems witout these drugs.all this bs sayin depression is genetics or u need these pills to survive and be happy. the case is u dnt need to. dnt buy into these BS pills. They make process foods so more americans can eat their SHIT n harm ur body. den they can take advantage of ur problems n insecurites n sell u PILLS

[jiafawang2468]

if u believe this shit then dam i am fuckin sorry for u. the pharmaceutical companies kill millions of innocent americans because its obvious that this shit doesnt work. ITS PROFIT.the AMERICAN govt tells u it aint good if they cant profit from it.try somethin natural like smoking marijuana, exercising and changing ur life style. our body was meant to regenerate and heal. dont take these synthetic bs chemicals n harm ur body.

I went to a free clinic to get diagnosed if I had PMDD cause my symptoms of depression were way worsen when my period came along with other physiological disturbances. I explained the doctor my situation but she just gave me l a big dose of Wellbutrin no much question asked...

If you are reading this: Don't take Prozac! The Psychiatrists on this panel are utter morons and of course they are going to say it is effective because all they can do is hand out drugs.
