Now wants to take away SSRIs. I hope the worm comes back and eats what little is left of his brain.

I take Escitolopram. I have had several bouts with major depressive episodes, have been suicidal 3 times, and hospitalized several times since my 30's. My psychiatrists over the years have told me, my mental illness is treatable but not curable and I will need medication for the rest of my life.

Since one of my previous psychiatrists came up with a combination of 3 meds including the Escitolopram, I have been relatively stable for the last five years. Now I have to be scared the Escitolopram is taken away, and how it might put me back at high risk? I really concerned about this.

3. Politicians should stay out of doctor-patient decisions. They are not medical experts or even doctors

Especially this bunch of people.

4. I agree.

Kennedy especially has no qualifications for this job. He's obviously mentally ill himself so should not be in a position to decide the treatment of others.

5. Your health shouldn't be subject to the whims of a

brain-worm addled addict. Crikey what a timeline.

6. It is insane... I have always preached caution on these drugs, but under appropriate supervised care,

they can be miraculous for those who really need them. There are very justified indications for a myriad of reasons in medicine--in veterinary medicine as well.

He's an uninformed pompous ideologue and dangerous in this current role (or any role).
