Re: Ten troublesome trends in TV health news

[Guest guest]

Botox, a drug that has been much in the news for its wrinkle

removing uses, received enthusiastic coverage by one station for its use in

pain control. The station called it a "new wonder drug for pain... nothing

short of miraculous... what some consider a miracle drug."

Tell that to the 4 people who came down with Botulimism after having botox shots in their face!! LOL

is this a helpful group or one that just bashes anyone who takes antidepresents????

We never bash the person, but we do bash the drugs, which have destroyed more lives than we can count. My comments about the botox and botulism cases happens to be true. This group has saved so many lives. We get people on here who are sometimes deathly ill and completely deranged from taking antidepressants, without realizing that their problem is the medication itself. I wish this group had been around 7 years ago when I was trying to get off Paxil and no doctor would recognize that my symptoms were caused by this hellish pill, which ultimately left me disabled. I was one of those people who believed the doctors and believed that if a med was approved by the FDA that it was safe -- HA! I learned the hardway that these drugs are deadly and that the FDA couldn't care less about our safety.

here.

<<Well I am all for trying something of that nature. As I am only on Xanax

currently and Loritabs for constant pain. What would be the best thing to

start out with to try to have a more positive outlook on life and not be so

cranky and negative all the time. I also have very low self esteem.>>

** It's difficult to have a positive outlook on these drugs. They numb

people making it difficult for them to feel pleasure.

We may be able help a lot more if you gave details. For instance, why

are you on Loritab? Any details you can give will help. What other drugs

were you on? How long have been off them and over what period of ttime did

you come off them?
