True, true. I used to have migraines, and took these medicines, but to
my
surprise, when I was about 42, I grew out of the headaches. I no longer
take the stuff.

I was on it long enoug to know that there is no imparement, taken at
those
low levels.

I will differ with you on this. My wife has suffered from migraines
since she was 6 years old. She is now considered 100% diabled due to
the combination of drugs that were used several years ago to try and
treat her daily migraine. The so called mild anti-depressants were the
major factor in creating the problems she has. Prozac is one of the
worst that you can take. She now has tardive diskensia, as well as
several other problems, which are all a direct result of the use to
seratonin uptake inhibitors.

If you check the history of most of the people that seemed to suddenly
snap and kill one or more, you will find that they were currently on
or had been rapidly removed from drugs in this class. If you think
that crap is mild, check out the book Toxic Psychiatry (sp?) by
Breslin and look at how much Eli-Lily pays out in lawsuit settlements
every year on just Prozac.

BTW... you realize that Prozac is just a slightly altered from of LSD
didn't you?

It sounds like your wife's problem was much more severe than mine. I did
not take the prozac family of med, and I did not take multiple things. I
only took an antiseziure medicine, imipramine, and like I said, I now don't
need it. I do sympathize with your wife, and hope and pray for relief for
her.

Imipramine is also an anti-depressant. I have first hand knowledge if
you want to hear about my divorce....and I'm sure no one does. It was
about 15 years ago anyway. It probably saved my life by keeping me
level-headed when I wasn't. I thought and decided that I was feeling
fine one day and flushed them all down the toilet. The next evening I
was sitting at the kitchen table bawling uncontrollably for no
apparent reason.....at least to me. I refilled my prescription.
About a month later I was through with them. The trick is to taper off
gradually. I can see the danger with a quick withdrawl.

Thanks Jim, we now know that part of hers these days are pollution
induced as well as from heat stress. Thats the reason we are trying to
move out of the DFW area before the end of the year. We also finally
got her hooked up with a chronic pain specialist that has her on
methadone to keep the pain levels down to a low enough level that she
can function reasonably. It is really hard on her because it
destroyed her career and taken away a lot of her ability to do
sketching and pencil/charcoal art. Our two year old is the big joy in
her life and she says that he's the biggest reason that she can get
up every day and face all her problems.

Her problems are a downer at times, but we just push the power levers
up a little more and go on and do the best we can with what we have
and try to live life to the fullest....

My daughter was bed ridded for 5-6 years with Fibromyalgia. Just got a
group of medicines that have made her functional (not well but
functional). If you want I'll get the list of what she is taking and
send to you for our wife to look at and maybe try.

My daughter would have splitting headaches where I would have to take
her to emergency room and get (I believe) a Darvon shot (sp).

In any event, let me know if you want what she has done to 'recover'.

Best to your wife.

I had a coworker with fibromyalgia. Rough stuff. Re SSRI withdrawal,
I've read recently that it's been implicated in youth suicides.
Leaves you saying, so NOW what? "Big boys / big girls don't cry"
didn't work either. The meds have been a godsend for some, obviously
the door to hell on earth for others.

Don't blame you for wanting to get out of DFW. I left in '79 and
haven't missed it much since. Hard to believe that Beltline though
Addison was two-lane blacktop!

Be careful about "pushing the power levers up" too much - rings can
get burned that way.

I agree that they are the best thing for some people, but what the
medical community forgets is that they need to carefully monitor the
patients that they give this stuff. One Dr. tried to give my wife some
new drug that had only been on the market about 4 or 5 weeks. He
hadn't bothered to even read the precautions from the vendor. First
thing it says is to monitor certain blood componets and liver
functions frequently during the first week and at least weekly
thereafter. He just gave her this crap and told her to take it and
come back in 6-10 weeks. I got to reading all the stuff with the drug
and found out that it had never been given to a patient for more than
three weeks and that 2 out of the total of 26 people that had been
given the drug died from complications within days of taking it.
Needless to say, we never went back and reported him to the referring
physician.

Did the same thing in Houston back in '80...
