Thats my personal opinion, and the basis for that opinion (with some links provided a couple comments above, since seems that "common sense" isn't as common as one would hope).
There isn't any "pushing" for ignoring medical advice or opinion, nor any imperative statements on the requirement of avoiding taking them .
Again, you're arguing with imaginary projected things here, and are a supertoxic person on top of that.
Your opinion on this is dangerous to spread online, which is a big part of why that comment was removed to begin with.
Pregnant women should listen to and work with their doctors, not take any advice like this from a person like you.
Your opinion is dangerous to spread online, and toxic on top of that.
They surely have to.
And who people take advice from is their problem, not yours.
My opinion is that pregnant women should listen to their doctors and not you.
Your opinion is as irrelevant as mine. Do yourself a favor, and do some reading before trying to judge what others say on things that go well over your head.
Advising women to not take antidepressents after their doctor has prescribed them makes your opinion significantly worse than anyone's here.
Where did I stated that women should not take antidepressants after their doctor has prescribed them?
stop arguing with your imaginary self.
Pregnant women taking antidepressants have a prescription from their doctor. You advised against taking them regardless.
I'm done arguing about pancakes and waffles with you.
Where did said that women taking antidepressant should stop taking them?
You are arguing with your own imaginary pancakes and waffles
Maybe one more time since your reading abilities are apparently hindered.
Where do you read there that "women shouldn't take it despite being prescribed that by their medics"????? Or text is showing differently here for each of us???? Oh but i forgot, you just like arguing with yourself just to have something to grasp on to....
Lol
Here it is again, just to be sure you got it.
