> not one phyc drug fixes anything it simple impares your ability to feel it.
Anything that will impair my suicidal thoughts until I can feel healthy again is a risk well taken. I have already lost a leg, a wife, two children, my home, my apartment, and my driving privelages. I don't want to lose my life due to the depression that all of these losses have caused me. It amazes me (well, not really) that a person can jump onto a BB like this one and post a message like this. Who are you to judge an entire community of people, including those of us who are depressed, anxious, or among the several other disorders that we take medications for, and also to judge the many professionals around the world who prescribe them and see wonderful results? I do not see my medications as impairing my life, in fact, they are allowing me to continue living it.
continued use can cause serious damage. dont believe it? ask the former director of NIMH (national inst of mental health) and the former directory of the dept of phy at Harvard. DR PETER Breggins . im a survivor of these meds and im damaged .i got Tardive Dy from a combiantion of these meds . the doc above wrote a book that should come with each bottle of these drugs . Find his book < read it or pay the uneducated price in the long run like i did. good luck your going to need it-I also am sorry to hear that you were injured by the use of "these" drugs...I would be interested in knowing more specifically which ones they were. I can understand your frustrations, as I lost my leg at 9 years old to cancer, and to this day, I have no one and nothing to blame for it, sometimes these horrible things just happen to people and there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. I am sorry you became a minority statistic, but many of us are in the majority statistic, and benefit greatly from these medications, in my case, Paxil, Remeron, and Ativan.
I wish you the best, and invite you to respond!
