Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 " Then he told me I should stop complaining about Paxil and do something, like get into a gene study so they could prove that I was genetically predisposed to having these symptoms wrought by Paxil. " Ummmm, isn't that the responsibility of the medical industry.....to do that sort of research......and then require gene testing BEFORE giving a prescription to anyone who wishes to take the drug. Heck, these guys don't order simple EKGs or baseline blood test done before prescribing drugs for which those tests are required. Like they'd require genetic testing for a drug they now hand out like candy???? Right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Gene testing is a bunch of lies as far as depression or most mental ailments. It's not a far jump from gene testing to eugenics. To blame ailments on genes when they know nothing of why or how people become depressed and for sure do not know how to treat it is more lies. It's criminal the way these psychiatrists stand up and even dare to act like they know what they are doing.
