Surviving Antidepessants Altostrata This website is dangerous. It's administrator takes advantage of vulnerable people needing advice. SHe has a phanatical doctrine, and states in her rules if you disagree with her she kicks you out. S Internet
Stay away from the website Surviving Antidepressants. You may be seeking help or advice. But in my experience I would not go there. It is run by someone who calls herself Altostrata. In her rules she says if you disagree with her she will kick you out. She is a former mental patient but comes off like a Doctor. I went there for support for coming of a longtime bipolar med. She immediately said I was not bipolar. She used all these big medical words like she knew what she is talking about. I have had bipolar illness and I know a thing or two. I disagreed with her and she gave me a warning about being kicked off. It is not written but if you don't reiterate her phanatical doctrine no one will help you. She is against any Psychiatric research which is very much needed.
Please if you are coming off any Psyc med don't go here she could potentially hurt you!!!!

This is a volunteer peer support site. It is free to anyone on the Web. We make it clear we are not physicians and do not hold ourselves out as medical authorities. We try to refer people to knowledgeable doctors as much as possible. We believe more research is very much needed, for patient safety. Like all forum sites, we have guidelines for behavior to maintain a reasonable atmosphere on the site and will ban anyone who does not follow those guidelines.
