   This is absoluetly f-ing crazy.
 
   Is there a full moon out?  
 
    If there was a REAL question here regarding anti-depressants,  it has been disregarded because of your insults.   Good Grief and how sad.

OK everybody. STOP, while I get a Coke and popcorn.

Can't wait to see what the smart-mouthed sissy is going to say next.

mrs mac, that is not a stupid question and I doubt you are daft. This is a place for support. Bitchin' is acceptable but should really be over on the General post area.  
Unfortunatly there are people that come here and want everyone to take their advice and then get mad because they are questioned.  
vaughn is one of those. Her only purpose in life is to be miserable and make others the same.

good question, Mrs. Mac.
 
 
The reason we cannot just listen and NOT reply is because people like that can confuse newcomers here who are hurting and have not maybe had a diagnosis yet.
 
In their pain they can be;lieve anything.   It IS up to us who have been there/done that to at the very least...steer them in the right direction.  Not the wrong one.
 
I do appreciate your question however.

can understand that as well Linda, but can these people not just have their posts removed?
 
 
that would save a lot of the bitching and arguing, that seems un necessary at times??
 
only my opinion though!!

Yes, the posts can be removed by the webmaster DJ. The person that made the post can also remove it.
 
We are very lucky to have DJ running this place. He is very forgiving in what may be posted on his site. Also he cannot be here every minute to police every message.
 
 
modified to say:
Ooops, sorry to answer the question that was asked of Linda. Sorry Linda.

Yes.  But only DJ can do that.
 
    And he only does that in extreme cases.
 
  And only when he deems it necessary because someone has REALLY re-defined the words, "Tasteless, crass, troll and you don't need to be here not a very nice person"

Is there any way that we can get this Vaughan pareson baned from the sight?  Obviously, he has nothing good or helpful to say at this point and I'm tired of listening to him insult every person who have offered me so much hep to this point.  There is no need to wiish death on any one.  That is definitely not what this site is designed for.  I mean seriously, don't tell me we haven't all tought about it at one time or another. but we are here because we want stay alive.. So if you can't remain positve and stopinsulting everyone for some constrctive criticism, Vaughan, get lost dude.  We really don't need that kind of negative energy floating around am message board that needs positive to keep it going. See ya.

No, you posted a thread claiming that Lexapro is effectve in the treatment of CH. It's not.

As deserved. Offering bad advice to clusterheads on this board is a very serious offense.

Congrats for being out of cycle. It has nothing to do with your SSRI.

What a pity that you actually wrote that.

You called me a pom and the americans "septics" which for those of you who don't know is rhyming slang for Yank. How constructive.
 
You received two civil replies from fellow ch'ers which *shock, horror* didn't say what you wanted them to say. It was you who went on the offensive, no one else.
 
We have a responsibility to everyone else who reads this site, those who register and those who don't to make sure we don't give them bad advice.
 
This is a desperate condition and we understand that more than anyone, there isn't one of us here who hasn't felt like ending it all and there isn't one of us who doesn't know someone who has tried.
 
I for one will not exacerbate that possibility by indulging fantasies about anything from anti depressants to rubbing vinegar on your chest. Neither will any of the rest of the family here.  
 
We ARE open to new idea's and suggestions but when someone suggests something which we know from many hundreds of other peoples experience is not effective we will say so.
 
Now I would strongly suggest you wind your neck in and start again. However, based on previous experience of interaction with you, I sincerely doubt you will heed this.

Vaughan, you may have started a positive thread, but you also started this whole mess with a completely classes and rude comment.  Once you did that, you begin to lose any credibility.  
 
I personally was very interested in your experience. as I am looking for an anti-depressant to replace Wellbutrin (my Dr is concerned it might be a trigger for me.  Even though it is a weak connection, why take the risk).  I don't know about Lexipro, but i would be willing to give it a try.
 
Now, try being civil to people, even if you disagree with them, and MAYBE threads like this don't blow up into something like this.  I have found people around here easy to deal with if you feel they were rude to you.  You just have to take the initiative to PM them in a positive way and you will find that out that they are just trying to help and you took it the wrong way.

Vaughan-
Listen man. We're all happy for you that you have been HA free for nine months.  The only thing any of the others are trying to say is that this treatment would not work on the typical case.  Every case is different, dude.  If it worked for you, that's great.  But, let's not go wishing death or "lead" in someone's ear.  We're all here to help each other and I think this has gotten out of control.  I'd like to extend the "olive branch" here  and hope that everyone reading this message will take this as a sign of peace and relaize that we need to work together at this.  Vaughan, here's to a HA free eternity for you.  You are in my prayers.

Many thanks for your prayers,pity I dont believe in god.
For those that heve tried everything (which I imagine is the majority) lexapro HAS worked for me and if it was to help one other person then it must be good right?To those that emerge from their little holes to say that it works for nobody makes me wonder why they came on to this site in the first place.
