HMOs. Good? Bad? Do they stockpile cash at the expense of their
patients. What are your experiences?

What is Prozac? What is Zololoft?
How long does it take for these to produce results?
What about the newer Seratonin antidepressants?
Why did the Scientologists attack Prozac so vociferously?
What about dependency aspects?

As a nurse, I can tell you that HMOs are bad, overall. Most physicians
are working under HMOs, now, and, it has turned patient care into a type
of "production line assembly" in the clinics. Basically, the more patients
seen means more money for the HMO, and, the docs have to work harder to get
those big bucks. Also, it's more benefits for the docs, if more patients
are seen in a certain length of time. It's like lining up the cattle;
round them up, treat them, and herd them out!I have seen more misdiagnoses
these days, than ever before.

Had a father on Prozac and a brother on Zoloft. Don't care for the affect in encourages in takers. Like flatline zombies. I do have a friend who is on another antidepressent and he is just oblivous to reality with a smile on his face.
There is plenty of medical data to support prescribing these drugs... I prefer sunshine and exercise!

Without insurance, I can't afford the meds,
that's why when I have the energy, I fight
it off with sleep, food, and vitamins,
the rest of the time I just fight with the
daemons...Sometimes, though, I think that
flatline zombiehood in myself would make
life easier for those around me...
