"Craig" wrote in message om... "Morgans" wrote in message ... 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? Craig C. 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. -- Jim in NC-- |

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. Ken J. - SDCAUSA |

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.... Craig C. |

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. Corrie |

"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. 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. 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! Did the same thing in Houston back in '80... Be careful about "pushing the power levers up" too much - rings can get burned that way. Never past METO....havent broken the witness wire on the War Emergency switch yet... Craig C. |
