Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Dear , You said: <<I have been in a bad state of pain & nonfunctionality for a while now...my parents convinced me to take some of my stash of psychodrugs....I have loads of them that I quit taking. so I was taking one 10mg zyprexa at night for ten days, but that was the last of the zyprexa and I don't see it has been helping - they say you have to be on it for a while or something...at this point i could likely end up in a psych ward where they could inject me with heavy drugs plus add a few doses of other drugs...i am hoping it won't come to that...so i guess my question is if i had to take one psychodrug for a while...which would be the least harmful psysiologically?? the ones I have on hand here are: seroquel - that makes me feel like i am on a bad acid trip 25mg, 200mg ativan 1 mg lithobid 300mg - I already take a natural lithium supplement haloperidol 5mg topamax 100mg, 25 mg wellbutrin sr 150 mg geodon 40mg, 20mg clonzepam 1mg loxapine 25 mg klonopin 1 mg>> ** This question can't be answered. Because of the unique chemistry in each individual what is not too bad in one person will kill another. Besides, these are vastly differnt drugs that do different things. Why would the criteria for choosing among them be the one that is the least harmful physiologically? What about appropriateness for symptoms? In any case, the reality is the question cannot be answered. , the pain is from having taken the drugs for years. How do you think this will help? Why does it matter what your parents think you should do? I suppose they supported you taking these drugs initially also? These drugs got you to where you are today. Why would you want to take them again? I would strongly suggest you not seek advice on the Internet on what drug is " best " for you. The answers you will be getting will be what drug the person you're asking found to be " best " for him/her at a particular time. This has nothing to do with you. If you really want to get away from the whole conventional psychiatric scene and find some healing make an appointment at the Pfeiffer Clinic. Beg and borrow the money to do it. You won't be sorry. http://www.hriptc.org/ In the meantime, you can help yourself by getting SupraLife's Total Body Toddy, SupraLife's Rainforest Toddy, and SupraLife's Colloidal Trace Minerals. Take the Rainforest Toddy first. Begin at one ounce a day for three days. Then take 2 oz. a day for 3 days, then 3 oz, a day until the bottle is gone. Then take 1 oz a day of Total Toddy for a week, then 2 oz. a day. Take 2 oz a day of Mineral Toddy for a week then increase it to 4 oz. a day. Do this for a month. Your pain should decrease by at least 50% (a very conservative estimate). For those of you who are wondering why I am recommending these and not the protocol I recommend in the Basic Healing Protocols it is because this is the exact protocol I used for years with people that works so well. I received so many emails from people concerned about price I looked for another product that might approximate the Total Toddy. I came up with the VM-100. It's okay but it isn't Supralife's Total Toddy. It's a real dilemma for me when what I really want to say is dig as deeply into your pockets as possible and follow this protocol. I don't want to alienate people but I also cannot control what works, what doesn't, and the cost of it. In many cases, people have become so spoiled by having medical insurance pay for most prescriptions they just think they can't afford to pay out the money. The reality is--most people can find a way to make it happen. I'm going to give you a piece of advice, , learned from observing people and their lists of psychiatric drugs over a period of 20 years. Antipsychotics, antidepressants, benzodiazepines, mood stabilizers --when you see a list this long and varied what you are really looking at is improper treatment. If they were on the right track you would be on a drug and stable. The more drugs you take at once because one doesn't " work " , the more drugs they keep trying because the last one didn't " work " the more likely it is that there is nothing wrong with you other than the after effects of having taken all these drugs. Everyone has challenges. Almost everyone has had traumas. Some people have better coping skills than others. But everyone can learn better coping skills. Whatever happened to you last week, last month, last year, ten years ago, or as a child is all in the past. You lived through it. The best way to deal with all of it is to stop lingering on it and trying to fix it. It can't be fixed. Only how you think about things and view things can be fixed.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 The Pfieffer treatment center is indeed wonderful..they helped us with our son when no one else could. It is expensive...but...they now have a program that reaches out to those who are financially burdened. I'm not sure if it pays a portion for those who qualify or if it pays the entire bill..but they can help. We have donated to it in the past. They helped us tremendously when we were just about at the end of our rope. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I wish we had somewhere like it in the UK. I am so glad you found somewhere that could help your son.

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 I wish there was a clinic like Pfeiffer there too . We need them in major cities across the world. Their waiting list in unbelievably long. People come from all over the world to little old, Naperville, Illonois. It took us 6 months to get in. That was about 10 years ago, it's proably longer now because they're getting more and more known all the time. It was about 10 yrs. ago we took our son there. I'll never forget the nurse who welcomed and interviewed us. She told us her story first. She had been in and out of institutions her entire life. Eventually she was diagnosed as schzophrinic. Her mother refused to give up on her, finally found Pfieffer clinic, took her there and the rest is history. She went to college, became a registered nurse with some sort of specialty in nutrition and now works for the people who helped her. Gives me goose flesh just thinking about it. Anyway, the prescribed my son vitamins, minerals, just good ole nutrients and we saw results for the first time ever with him. Back then he was extremely impulsive, poor attention span, which led into behavior problems..anyway, they helped big time. He was doing ok until recently when he fell into some depression..Made the big mistake of accepting the doctors prescribed help...called Paxil..It's been a nightmare ever since..If not for this group and I think my son would have ended up locked in a padded cell. I'm not joking, it got that bad. He's much better now, on the mend, has good days and bad days, but so frustrated that he got himself into this mess and even more frustrated that these ssri's are legal and passed out to people like they're candy. I pray you have a really good day today!
