Re: I hate antidepressants

[Guest guest]

All antidepressant can lower the seizure threshold. Partial seizures,

especially those originating in the temporal lobe (which can be

extremely difficult to detect) can cause mood dysregulation,

hallucinations, stomach/bowel/incontinence problems, sleep problems

(as you probably know), just an incredible number of reactions that

one wouldn't normally associate with seizures. The prescribing

information/insert/label for Celexa now contains grand mal seizures as

an aftermarket reported adverse reaction. Lexapro is little more than

concentrated Celexa (1:4).

Please learn about SSRI withdrawal. For some people, it last for

months after they take their last dose.

> I smoked and in 1994 I was put on Anafranil, and started smoking 3

packs per day. I know it isn't an SSRI though. I've got a sleeping

seizure disorder. In 1998 my Kolonopin was stopped. I was put on

Prozac. I started having seizures while awake. I'm retired Air

Force, and the Air Force medical center took care of my seizures. I

ended up on Tegretol, Neurontin, and Depakote for my seizures. I was

still depressed while on the Prozac. In 2000 I requested to be put on

Luvox which didn't help. I was then put on celexa which didn't help.

Then last spring Lexapro which didn't help. 2 months ago I was put on

Effexor, but I still wanted to kill myself. I told my Psychiatrist

about my smoking for almost 10 years. I was taken off the effexor,

and smoke less than a pack per day. I always felt like hurting myself

on those SSRI's. I work on it my own now. I don't trust their tests

on the SSRI's.

Hi ph, wow what a trip you've been through...question: why did they stop

the klonipin? Could the seizures have been from abruptly stopping that, and

were you tapered or cold-turkeyed? I know someone in a similiar

situation...seems the benzo is the lesser of the two evils, ssris being the

other evil...
