I do not advocate any kind of psychotropic drugs, psychiatrists,

mental hospitals or the way the mental health system is today and in

the past.

Then why don't you make an effort to find other ways of dealing with your

problems? and if you've been on meds for 40 years, how do you know you even

need them anymore, or even needed them in the first place, and if you don't

need them then why should the State pay for them? You posted the list of meds

you were taking one time -- it was pretty obvious that (then) you were

dangerously overmedicated, so how do you know if you are even getting any

benefit

from this cocktail, or are you just " hooked " and have to continue the

" treatment " to avoid hideous withdrawals?

Sadly, people don't realize that they will have a 're-visit' of their

initial depression (or worse) when they get off the meds because of the

withdrawls. People freak out and think 'oh no, the depression is

coming back', so they go back on the meds, without understanding that

they will have to go through withdrawl hell in order to achieve a brain

that is no longer dependent on meds.

Thank you for your response.

The State should pay me millions for my suffering over

the years, but I would rather see some doctors etc.,

prosecuted for criminal negligence or something along

those lines.

I am working on your other advice. I have reduced the

Trilafon, the SSRI and stopped the Triavil.

I will not stop the pain pills. I have pain from

epidydimitis, a hiatal hernia, a messed up ankle

(which I sprained and it appears it will take 6 months

to heal) a badly arthritic shoulder and bicep, and

diverticulosis.

My main concern is getting my blood pressure down to

avoid another stroke, at this time.

The seratonin of course is a vascoconstrictor, but I

stopped the SSRI for 2 weeks with no change. Yes it

did effect me emotionally.

I also take Valium. My doctor says I don't need as

much. I would like to put a bullet in each one of his

kneecaps, then during recovery, tell him he doesn't

" need " pain pills. Doctors must be mind readers. Only

I know how I feel.

I don't really want to take any chemicals, but I still

take some.

Sincerely,

john
