Not a day goes by where I wished I had never taken Prozac. Not a single day goes by where I am not envious of people who experience normal range of emotions, still have a good memory, and have that creative spark that is one of the things that separates us from the animals.

The only thing I can think of at this point to reverse it is another drug. Pretty sick if you ask me.

I feel the same way. Ever since I took a relatively high dose of Serzone for 2 years (450mgs), and coming off the drug, my memory has never been the same. I took Effexor for several years, and that masked it while exagerrating short-term memory loss. Yet taking just a small bit of Effexor after months off now improves my processing; clearly my brain has been damaged.

> ... and coming off the drug, my memory has never been the same.

Yes! Its the coming off of the drug that really messes you up! My memory was fine on prozac. The only hint that there was something wrong was that I had headaches that the doctors couldn't explain. I also find that a low dose of prozac, 2.5 mg/day, helps me be more motivated and concentrate better. This is compared to the 20mgs I used to take. No way I could tolerate that dosage now.

I wish there was some way we could bring our situations into the public view, so that others don't fall into the same trap we have. If I could just get some scans of my brain that show that something is off. I would be thrilled if it showed I had something resembling dementia at age 27. I'd be vindicated for everyone who didn't believe me. That said the drugs were safe and that they couldn't cause permanent changes to the brain.

I hate that I have to take drugs to try to fix what other drugs have done, but 7 years off of drugs has not returned me to my previous self. I just wanna find something that helps and never have to change it and never have to think about psychiatry again and NEVER recommend a drug to anyone, because they can cause more problems than they can fix. Some people really do need them, I don't doubt that, but I mean I was 16 when I was put on prozac, the doctor never suggested that it was a phase and not to worry about it, ever to eager to grab that pen and write the script. I had a friend more depressed than I was who attempted suicide at that age and now is happy and well adjusted. I feel like I have been cheated out of the best years of my life. Its not the bad memory thats the worst its the loss of feelings and depth to emotion, its like being a robot, no longer human. I feel my frustration grow each day to where I just don't know how much longer I can go on like this. I don't understand what life wants from me.

This is so sad and depressing. I'm sorry.
I too am a victim of psychiatric drugging. I am convinced that i was worse off after being on antidepressants -- and getting off them (for up to roughly 2 years) -- than i was before taking the drugs. However, i am also convinced that i, personally, would have been severely messed up and miserable if i never got on antidepressants anyway. So.. i can't fully demonize the drugs. Still, i feel that if medical doctors were more cautious and delicate about the **dosing**, it would not bomb the hell out of the natural homeostasis and genetic set points of people's brains and hence not have the same degree of long-term alterations in their brains.
Also, somehow there appear to be many OTHER people who seem to be able to be on SSRIs, or what have you, and derive benefits that please them and not feel as if they have experienced any lasting detrimental impacts. Are they just less introspective, or interoceptive, or self-relfective (e.g., are they just not rEalizing that their ability to store memories is worse?)? Or is there something in Us that we are not factoring in? I've spent so much time pondering this, but i'm not certain what to think.
That said, i have many, many criticisms of psychiatry. The drugs themselves, though, can definitely be very valuable. I don't know though. There are so many philosophical dilemmas and questions associated with this practice that are virtually never addressed, and that have never fully satisfied in my mind. Of course, it is that way with many subjects i suppose.

As you said, a lot of people are happy about SSRIs, SNRIs. They are not deluded. They just don't post on this site. Personally, I took a number of SSRI's and SNRI's and never had problems, before or after. Never had withdrawal problems either, except a little parathesia in my hands and feet that lasted a few days. OTOH, I never derived any benefit from these drugs. Only parnate has worked for me.

Lou I took a look at this video and I'm not really sure how it relates to what we are talking about in referring to long standing brain damage. This is more about celebrities overdosing on antidepressants would have overdosed anyway. The one thing that seemed close was how Ernest Hemmingway described how the ECT erased his memory and how he won't be able to write since he used things from his memory. I tend to think his depression led him to suicide not the ECT.

Most of the video is just celebrities overdosing on pills and is unrelated to what we are talking about. Trying to put the blame on pills for people overdosing. As far as drugs making people manic and going postal, I would need to research that more but to me that sounds plausible.

Being angry about antidepressants because people misuse tranquilizers commit suicide doesn't mean they don't serve a purpose. People can use a toaster and a bathtub to commit suicide as well, but we don't through the toaster out with the bath water do we?

I found the video just too showy, with every thing taken out of context and put into the context that he wanted people to see. The author wanted to show that drugs caused suicides, not their inner demons. A true researcher would have look at everything in these cases before making a movie condemning drugs that don't cause these effects in the large majority of the people who take them.

I think what they meant by "inner demons" is the mental illness. That is the cause, the illness, not the drugs that treat the illness.

I agree with Conundrum about the video...

On easpect is that the video brings out the aspect that the brian is involved and does something to the receptor. Is there then damage? Also, if addiction happenes, is that then brain damage?
Now if the drug in the video could do such, then could other drugs do the same or more? Also, many of the psychotropic drugs are related by synthesis from amphetamine, so I think that the vidoe could berelevant to other mind-altering drugs.
Then here is the aspect that if the drug can alter the mind, is then the alterd mind a damaged mind? And then is an alterd mind an alterd brain?

Yes, other mental demons not the drugs themselves. For instance in the video it says that using ritalin predisposes one to abusing cocaine and then mentions that Kurt Cobain was given ritalin as a child and therefore that was the reason he was suicidal. Couldn't he have been suicidal all along and especially once he became famous. It mentions he committed suicide after escaping a pyschiatric asylum. As if being in the asylum made him kill himself. He was put in the asylum AFTER he failed to kill himself. He got out and succeeded. If the asylum and psychiatry were the problem why didn't he die in the asylum? Because they were trying to help him and when he escaped he finally found peace.

The entire video is just clips taken out of context and sensationalized and now the thread is wondering off course.

This is a serious thread about the posters and their problems. Not celebrities abusing prescription and street drugs OD'ing. It trivializes what we are talking about.


Now the video about meth with the mice is more telling, since yes amphetamine is chemically related to meth and yes it adderall is addictive. So yes psych drugs are brain damaging (to some its damage, to others and improvement) certainly brain changing. If they weren't then poop out would not exist, because something must change in the brain in order for poop out the drug to stop working, since it is the same drug going in.

In that last video it seems that Gwen Owens is talking about psychotic and schizophrenic patients. Its no secret that drugs given to those patients are brain disabling.

The scariest thing to me isn't the antipsychotic drugs which are known to have side effects its the supposedly harmless antidepressants, dispensed as with ice cream truck readiness in nice little painted boxes. At least they've had to start including black box suicide warnings on all AD labelings and commericials. Probably another 100 years before we find out they cause brain damage.

And yes Lou I see your point now since, I've felt more close to the end now then I ever recall feeling when I was a teenager before I took these pills. Why go on if you can't feel? Just for everyone else I suppose, cuz you know it would destroy them if you were gone. Not like it really matters to you anyway, to have to stay alive, since you are mostly so numb to real pain except for those moments when you think about who and what you once were and how you will never be that way again and you actually manage to shed one tear. How you will never have that same spark of life you once had and how you are always in some way on a lower plane of consciousness and one step closer to rotting grey matter death. That you will never reach your full potential because your only set of equipment (your brain) is f**cked up. See I can write all of this and not feel that bad. You'd think I'd be crying but I'm not, its just the way it is matter of factly.

Unfortunately time isn't even a healer when it comes to brain damage. its just there. The only hope I see is taking another med to try to fix the problem. Its like trying to get back home in quantum leap. Probably impossible but worth a shot, since you're not gonna get better on your own if you hadn't in the first 7 years off the drug.

However I'm an exception. Many people don't have brain damage from psych drugs. Probably most don't. I think thats why its not being talked about. We are the privileged few, who unlike those in the first video who used pill to try to OD, well we reached to them in hope for a better life, in doctors and the system we trusted, and we got hemlock.

C,
You wrote,[...time isn,t even a healer when it comes to brain damage...].
You see, I was given psychotropic drugs by a doctor, and I have brain damage. it happened when I went to a psychiatrist for depression. He made me believe that taking the pills would be an antidepressant, so I believed. And in a few days there was a damage that caused a musical horror. I used to play the piano and would play music by Schumann and Beethoven. And I could not play, for the area of the brain in the temporal lobe was damaged and the music was off-key and still is. I could not focus my hands to the keys and the chords were distorted.
I have been to persons that knows of this and there is about 50 other cases, some from the same antidepressant. I wanted to think that the music would return to normal so that I could play again. But it is not to be like you have said. And you say that it will never be that way again. But I believe that we can return to the green fields to that day before the music died.

There's a Dutch comic and musician, Mike Boddé, who wrote a book called 'Pill', in which he describes an experience like Lou's on one of the SSRI's. In his case, the auditory distortions and auditory hallucinations disappeared within weeks or months.

Finally he was prescribed clomipramine in a last attempt to cure his crippling depression. He achieved remission in two weeks, and has been on the drug ever since (for more than twelve years now). He has never been depressed again.

I'd just like to plug the double double quotes feature at this site:

The first time anyone refers to a book, a movie, or music without using this option, I post this to try to make sure he or she at least knows about it. It's just an option, though.

Thanks!

Bob
