Serath I have Osteo-Arthritis, but I take more kind of supplements rather than prescription meds. The one drug that allways gives more complications than cures, is anti-depressants. You can go through a mirriad of them before you find one that you are willing to...

Serath Nice question. I am sure, most young people avoid the question, in order to enjoy their life...which in a way is a good thing. As the old saying goes..."Why worry about something that might or might not happen tomorrow because you can't do anything about it...

Sucks!!!

mchavez11 @mchavez11 (1406) • Philippines 9 Sep 08

How do you know when you have met the right one for you?

Serath To a perfectionist and/or someone suffering from OCD, it is one of those questions that will haunt you for life :D. There is no "right" one. The longer you are together, the more you will get an idea of your "compatibility" but that still doesn't say much....

Do you favor the use of anti-depressant drugs?

mimingsi @mimingsi (151) • Philippines 5 Sep 08

Serath I would say, unless you are suffering from a sever case, doctors should not prescribe anti-depressants for general depression. Depression caused by chemical inbalance is however a different story, in which case you can not fix it your self and need the...
