Jay, I use psychotropic medications as well. I thought some of the research articles linked from that site were interesting, and worth posting, that's all. I can see why you may disagree with the motives of the person who created that site, which I am really not concerned with, but some of the articles may (or may not) apply to some people experiencing adverse affects. While you disagree, I think some of the information can be useful to others.
I don't see a lot of studies done on long-term affects of these medications and that is something I'd like to see more of and thought if that site collects them, it could be useful.
My psychiatrist told me this: some of the smaller/less known/less funded studies are facilitated by a doctor, or group of doctors/colleagues, who notice common effects on their patients. This is a motivator for some of those less known studies, and I greatly respect that. I think the smaller, less 'famous' studies should get some attention for this reason. There is a chance some of those studies are done out of benevolence, imo.
I respect your opinion as well-thanks for commenting.
