Why does the insert for Effexor state that "Symptoms of depression include ... Repeated thoughts of death or suicide ..." yet warns the user to not take Effexor "if you have or had ... suicidal thoughts ..." and that many of the side-affects are identical to the symptoms of depression (and then some)?
My doctor didn't know the answer so don't worry if you don't. But he said give it a whirl for a couple-few weeks. At least the package is festive.
Maybe I'll Blog more? Is that a side-affect?
And here's an oddity. While my faith tells me that suicide is a sin (and logic tells me that it's stupid) my other thoughts tell me that in some strange way my faith has a bearing on my depression. Consider this: Life stinks but Heaven is marvelous. So what's the point of being "here" anyway? Wouldn't it be better to just skip to the end and go to Heaven? Ah! But there is no shortcut. One has to stay stuck in "traffic" until the "exit ramp" appears. Weird. Not sure I get this whole religion thing. But I have faith in Christ anyway. Really weird. Guess that's what faith is, huh?
