In reply to how many have ulcers?, posted by BJM on November 27, 2004, at 13:30:25
First of all, ulcers are *extrordinarily common* in depression and anxiety disorders.
Secondly, this is a site about medication. I personally would like to know about these things.
What happens if there was somebody here who was trying to select a medication and say had a prexisting ulcer. They would like to know that SSRis can increase bleeding time. People are not just putting these articles up to make people anxious, but we should infact know what these meds can do. At least then we can make an informed decision.
It's just like vioxx. I'm sure you that if you were one of the ones who experienced a significant adverse reaction, you would've wanted to know about that possability beforehand.
If we were only allowed on this board to post positively brimming success stories, then you'd only be setting yourself up for desaster. Imagine how phony that would be?
