Re: My 16 yr old - forced into psych ward for Prozac & Geodon

You have some truth there. He hates his father who really has been a

creep to him. I have often thought that this has made him much like he

is. I am no longer with his father because of this.

I'm going to check into this more as there may be more there to look at

for him.

Sorry I haven't been able to answer you as quickly as I would have

liked, but I've been very overwhelmed with just too much to do related

to this experience.

I knew about CCHR and even tried to reach them several times last Friday

when this situation was just starting. I'm still trying to reach them.

Even though I've got my son back, I've still got major problems. He's

no better and in some ways worse. This way it's only a matter of time

before someone gets him again and I don't know if he'll have a chance to

get out of it the next time.

Last fall he was arrested for hitting me and had a court appearance.

This fall he was taken to a psych ward. I don't know what else can be

done with him. It just goes on and on with him.

Thanks for your e-mail.

Merrie

PS I agree. It sounds like communistic Russia or Nazi Germany. Unless

you witnessed it, who would believe this could happen in America. It

scares the hell out of me and then it makes me very angry.

Hi Merrie,

I just read your story. My son was 14 when he went on

Prozac. I know what your life is like right now.

The courts are not there to help you, for every

doctor we found who said SSRI's are bad, the state

found one to say the medication is safe. We had one

doctor, at Shepard Pratt, tell me that every child in

the center is on one SSRI or another. I fought him

tooth and nail. He even said he wanted to try Nick on

Zoloft, and then watch him. I told him it was my son

not his experiment. If Nick went on the medication and

deteriorated then the doctor would have a reason to

keep Nick longer. Nick was attacked an beaten up at

one hospital. He sometimes has flashbacks, but will

not tell any doctor about them. He is afraid they will

tell him he has Post traumatic Stress, the treatment

for that is SSRI's.

The last couple of years have not been easy. We all

have to work hard, just to get through somedays. Try

to hold on, know we are here for you, you and your son

are not alone.

Maggs.

That's exactly what I thought. I knew that if they put my son on these

drugs, the side effects would make them put him on more drugs, he would

fall apart further and I would lose him. Basically, I knew they would

kill him.

How in the heck did your son end up on Prozac if you fought it so hard?

I was surprised that I seemed to easily find doctors that didn't think

my son should be put on Prozac. I thought they all thought he should

have that. You're right about fighting it. I could have found 10,000

doctors against my son being on Prozac and it wouldn't have made any

difference. This doctor told me he would have his way and he would give

my son these drugs whether I liked it or not. What kind of Nazi

tormenting doctor have we created? Where is Shepard Pratt?

Oh, my my my.....

I didn't know they gave it for post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. It seems

they give these SSRI's for everything now. I'm just stunned at all the

things they can give it for. It's a total money maker.

Last night I became aware of my son's nightmares from last weekend. He

woke up screaming about them. Yes, you guessed it. That psychiatrist

was in them. Among other things, he said the fellow was coming at him

with needles, trying to stab him in his heart and the door was blocked

and he was up against a wall and couldn't get away from him. Pretty

frightening. This fellow needs to be taken out. I know you know my

feelings.

> Maggs.

Thanks for writing me. When you see so much uproar from people about

these drugs and you see the negative attention these drugs are getting,

you know that people are becoming educated to this horrible situation.

More and more people are going to do what I did this pass weekend--just

refuse them.

Still, though, there are people out there that think that the SSRI's fix

OCD and other similiar problems. They say you have to take your 'meds'

so you'll be able to function. What a sick joke that is.

I'm glad to see there is support for us. At least we're not at the

beginning stages when no one knew about the SSRI's.

The real problem is Doctors are getting lazy they can see many more clients if

they just read reports and disspense medications and have other people most of

which are not properly trained observe them.

Gone is the day that a doctor spends actual time listening and really hearing

what is being said.

They just sit back shooting their Magic Bullets (SSRI) hoping to hit

something.

Just my opinion
