Hi D Bunker,
I've put your blog in my Following list. Now I can visit you one post at a time till the new computer starts working.
I hope one day we can see these drugs not being prescribed.
Some of these drugs will have to be at the market till a whole generation dies because some people cannot withdraw.
I will be in serious trouble if for some reason I spend three days without Seroquel, Effexor and Klonopin.
You're doing a good work.
Love,
Ana
