Don't take SSRI's. They're the worst medicine, with horrific side effects. Worse than antipsychotics. I lost my ability to sit still because of SSRI's, now I must always pace due to this strange inner restlessness. Learn from my mistakes.

Wouldn't that be sweet. One spouse a shrink, another a shrink's drug dealer, both in collusion to grow “the business”. I see a Netflix series in the near future.

For many people SSRIs, SNRIs and other mental health medications are a life changing and at times life saving tool. Advising people not to take prescribed medication is potentially very dangerous.
