5.0 out of 5 stars A godsend., January 19, 2005
By Darthjal "Darthjal" (North America) - See all my reviews
I've found some decent sites on this subject matter, but Crazy Meds is light-years better than any other.

You can search all over the Web for information about psychiatric medications and get hundreds or thousands of hits. Good luck wading through all of those results. Most of them are garbage or contain duplicate information. Instead, go to Crazy Meds, which contains a well-organized wealth of information, plus links to any reputable sites that provide additional *pertinent* information.

There are also essays on a variety of psychiatric topics, and a forum for people who have things to say about these meds and other things in life that make them crazy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Information and Research, September 21, 2006
By Ashley (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews
This site is, hands down, the best site I've found for truly comprehensive information about medications for mental illnesses. The site is well-researched, with a number of medical articles, studies, and books backing it all up. I have made it a practice to research any new medication my doctor or psychiatrist recommend I try, and that means I do a lot of surfing around on the net, trying to find other people who have tried these same drugs. Not only does Crazy Meds give you that information, but it also explains exactly what these drugs do to one's brain, and what kind of side effects they may have. I have found that doctors can be less than forthcoming with the true scoop on side effects of the meds they want you to try, but Crazy Meds doesn't give you any bs. It just tells you the facts.

I cannot tell you how invaluable this site has been for me, and I highly recommend it as a great resource to anyone curious about psych meds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Could use improvement, March 22, 2004
By A Customer
The author of this site is gradually improving it. Contains some good information, and keeps getting better. Some of the information is heavily opinionated, but the site author is honest and up-front about this (and it makes for a lighter and less formal approach to a traditionally dry subject). A good destination, particularly for those whose medication regimens change regularly, or who are curious about the effects of certain meds. A good companion to other sites of this nature (e.g. Remedyfind).
