Re: RATM vs X Factor christmas no.1?..
I don't buy the argument that it's a hollow victory, it's like saying people should give £1 to charity instead of buying a bar of chocolate. Maybe people will be encouraged to campaign against more...

Re: Prescribed Paroxetine...
I know I'm in a minority but I would not reccomend Paroxetine at all, all it ever did was make my depression and SA worse longterm and led me to becoming suicidal and self harming a lot.

Re: starting on anti depressants
I had this same thing when I started Cipralex.
Starting on it was horrible but coming off it is even worse. I wouldnt recommend an SSRI to anyone.
Which one are you on btw?

Re: how often are you in pain?
I have a lot of fibro type leg pain and feet pain, a wonderful side-effect from Cipralex. Not sure how it will go on for.
