Guest guest Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 : I am so sorry for all you have gone through. From your writings, I sense that you have experienced exactly what my son, B.J., went through during the 7 LONG weeks he was on Effexor XR. Somehow, you managed to survive and you are to be applauded for that. We pray for you and everyone else these drugs have screwed up every day. Thank God some people survive to tell the truth. I couldn't understand what B.J. was saying. I couldn't understand how he felt. His psychologist and shrink were useless. It just didn't make sense that he would get so much worse so very quickly. He wrote in his journal that he would not become the monster his mind wanted him to be. He admitted to me the day before he killed himself that he had been having vivid thoughts and nightmares about killing me, his dad and his fiancee, then himself. (Not his sister, though, for some reason.) That's when I demanded that he make an appointment the very next day while I was at work. And I told him that I would be going with him to his next appointment so we could work out a way for them to communicate with me, too; which he agreed with. He made the appointment, but hung himself in one of our outbuidlings that same evening, leaving 21 suicide notes to all who were important to him. Now that we have his medical records, we see that his psychologist recognized huge signs of suicidal ideation and she told him to keep taking his meds. The shrink wrote the same thing... " advised patient to continue taking medications. " They told us it was none of our business because he was 21 years old and an adult. Told us to call the cops if we thought he was a danger. Yeah, right. God, how I despise everything these people stand for. Terry --------------------------------- --------------------------------- Messenger with Voice.
