Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 This is a step in the right direction for British kids. Of course we all know that 18 is not some magic age where these drugs are okay for everyone to use. They are messing with the very part of the brain that controls impulsivity, violent emotions, fight-or-flight reactions, etc, etc.... However, take a look at the rest of the " warnings " - they are still not owning up to people committing suicide as a result of these drugs. They are still taking the stance that these people were already depressed therefore suicidal. Our son wrote in his journal that he had been confused about how to handle being a working college student while being involved in a serious relationship with a working college girl. He was stressed out and feeling overwhelmed, but no one thought he was suicidal. One of his 21 suicide notes stated that he felt that the medication had helped him to see " what he had to do. " Doctors are simply prescribing this crap because of the sales reps, current public tendencies to pop a pill for everything and their own ignorance. The quack who gave my son a grocery sack (literally) full of Effexor had spent 5 minutes with him. He literally scanned the records the psychologist had faxed to him - in front of my son - handed him a bagful of death and left for the lunch appointment he had railed at his receptionist for making him late for by scheduling my son's appointment for 11:00 am This quack never saw, contacted him, followed up on missed appointments or probably even thought of him again. The only positive thing we've heard lately is that the psychologist he was seeing has left her job due to " stress " and is seeking employment in a different field. God, how I hate these people and their drugs.
