Ummm...I was 'cured' of my depression by Effexor XR. It took approximately 3 years of treatment with Effexor to reset my brain chemicals. Celexa didn't work at all for me. Effexor did. Not every drug works for each person. We're all very different from each other as far as body chemistry and such goes.

There are risks with anything one puts in their body. If you have a rare allergy, for instance, you could be in trouble from something no one even considered. Something that millions of people use all the time without a problem. The odds of this happening are *very* small. But it does happen. On the other hand, millions of people have been helped by AD's. I'm one of them.
