Um...What?

Uhh, wouldn't recommend it dude. There was a post in one of these topics (in this forum) where someone went through it. Can't remember which topic it was, sorry.

The side effects/negatives of using anti-depressants for PE far outweigh the positives.

No they cause ED, weight gain, high blood sugar, and suicidal tendencies in younger users.

This is what I have never understood about anti-depressant meds... one of the common side-effects is an increase in suicidal thoughts which is obviously more serious than the disease they are trying to treat. I know they help lots of people and probably save lives but it's pretty scary none the less.

I'm not sure that they neccesarily cause suicidal thoughts so much as they imbalance the personality of user, unnaturally, chemically, which leads to serious extremes. Euphoria to Manic Depression.

That makes a little more sense but it still sounds kinda dangerous. Thanks Skeptic.

They invented mind drugs to take the place of cognitive therapy. Cognitive therapy was expensive and tge HMO's did not want to cover the cost of extensive care. Depression medications have a high failure rate, most cause more problems than they solve.
