Good (and sometimes humorous) website about psychiatric med

www.crazymeds.com

Lots of good info. on there (with a "dose" (pardon the pun) of humor.

I've gone to the site several times to research meds I'm taking and I find it pretty informative.

If I recall correctly he'd lost his site to a sniper and had to reopen it as crazymeds.us

I remember reading it one day, and the next day it was one of those stupid advertising sites.

Later I found the site again as crazymeds.us

The .com and .org redirects to to http://www.crazymeds.us which was reassuring. For a second there I was worried you were posting the sniped site.

The gentleman has a humorous writing style, sort of dark, and I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not got their personal demons on a leash yet. Seek professional help, and then check out the site.

Part of the site's disclaimer goes like this, and it's good advice:

Nobody on this site is a doctor, therapist, or a pharmacist. We don’t portray them either here or on TV. Only doctors can diagnose and treat an illness. Some doctors tend to get pissed off by patients who know too much about medications, so tread lightly when and where appropriate. Diagnosing yourself from a website is like defending yourself in court, you suddenly have a fool for a doctor. Don’t be a cyberchondriac, thinking you have every disease you see a website about, or that you’ll get every side effect from every medication1. Self-prescribing is as dangerous as buying meds from fraudulent online pharmacies that promise you medications without prescriptions.
