Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Yep, that is my thought as well. However, I'm not an M.D., so I'm having a hard time keeping my mouth shut....as I don't want to risk a lawsuit. I can't very well recommend that he stop taking the medication as I am not a medical doctor, but maybe if I educate myself on Serzone I can pass that information on to my client?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Yeah, I know, Pam. Unfortunately, because I'm not a medical doctor, I cannot give medical advice. However, I can suggest for him to do research on Serzone and consult with a doctor about his findings and concerns.....assuming he has concerns after he does some research.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi, and welcome to our group! I would suggest that in using the Google you go to scholar.google.com and it should take you to the Physician Desk Reference and other medical publications when you type in the drug name. You can also go to http://www.drugawareness.org and type in the drug name as a search term ... they have a wealth of information there you could print out and share with your patient's family. A helpful book to read on the subject of the overprescription of antidepressants is Dr. ph Glenmullen's book Prozac Backlash, and he has a sequel that helps people who want to get off antidepressants. Whitaker's Mad in America is another one well worth your time to look into. It is good that you want to learn from families and friends who have been on these drugs and can tell you about the adverse events they've had -- more like Hell, while taking them. A lot of them have lost loved ones to suicide while they were on these drugs so they are understandably angry about what has happened to them. This is a good place to come and learn, and there is an ssri-research group that is articles only if you're looking more for information. A lot of it will come from mainstream news and dispute the chemical imbalance theory of mental illness. Hope it helps and please keep us posted.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 gab, seems to me you might be risking a lawsuit for NOT recommending he go off the Serzone.[ BTW,* tapering *off is the safest way to go off.] what if the guy loses his cool and hurts someone or himself? i can see yu being held responsible for NOT at least advising him to consider that the serzone is pushing him over the edge? you already told us the guys been taking serzone for 14 years and he's getting scary to his family while on the drug that's supposed *help* him. -pam Gabdud@... wrote: Yep, that is my thought as well.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Gab, Some places to look for a doctor or naturopathic doctor that might help: www.alternativementalhealth.com www.acam.org http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & q=serzone+liver+failure+deaths & btnG=Google+Se\ arch The last is a google search for liver failure deaths from serzone. It's got to be bad if the lawyers are all over it. Jim Yeah, I know, Pam. Unfortunately, because I'm not a medical doctor, I cannot give medical advice. However, I can suggest for him to do research on Serzone and consult with a doctor about his findings and concerns.....assuming he has concerns after he does some research.
