Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Medical privacy is something to preserve, so no I don't think people have a right to know what a co-worker is taking whether it's SSRI's or something else. I'm very interested in knowing what you would do if you knew a co-worker was on an SSRI... Maybe you know something I haven't thought about. Please respond........... ========================================= On Fri, 22 Oct 2004 21:37:38 -0000 " bowriver011 " <bowriver011@...> writes: Don't you think that people have a right to know if their co workers are taking SSRIs??? ====== ====== .. ..

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Well, society doesn't allow alcoholics or street drug abusers in the workplace, because it effects productivity and social interaction so what's the difference with SSRIs?? If people can be prone to 'go off' on SSRIs then I think people have a right to know if a fellow co worker is taking them. You know, if your co worker has a personality change as a result of the drugs ie. impulsive, unreliable, careless then this would definately effect job performance and safety. > Medical privacy is something to preserve, > so no I don't think people have a right to > know what a co-worker is taking whether it's > SSRI's or something else. > > I'm very interested in knowing what you would > do if you knew a co-worker was on an SSRI... > Maybe you know something I haven't thought about. > > Please respond........... > > ========================================= > > On Fri, 22 Oct 2004 21:37:38 -0000 " bowriver011 " <bowriver011@y...> > writes: > > Don't you think that people have a right to know if their co workers > are taking SSRIs??? > > ====== > ====== > . > . > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 " Bowriver " , I appreciate your response and YOUR original question. My question " still is " : what is an employer and fellow employee supposed to do when they find out that an employee is on an SSRI? This is worth discussing and I'm glad " bowriver " started the original question !!! Just me...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I will strait out tell you that I don't allow psychiatric drug users near me or my loved ones period. I don't have to know what their medical situation is, it's obvious from observing them that they are drugged. Accidents happen around these people as good hearted as they might be. Things go wrong around these drugs, I have observed it. Taking these drugs doesn't just cause problems with using machines but with every aspect of life and does not put the individual in the drivers seat. I don't hang around drunks or drug altered people no matter what the drug. working next to a drunk is not optimum either even if the drunk is less likely to explode and kill. It's just common sense if you look it over.
