SSRI WARNING.....PUBLIC NOTICE

[Guest guest]

I know that people who are on these drugs have done these things. But I know

with me, that I would be worse off if I wasn't on what I was.

Also on the box, it says right on there, do not take if you experience any

changes. You need to talk to your doctor. I have been one of the lucky ones.

I have never had any side effects or negative effects from Prozac. I'm sure

others can say it's helped them also.

Then on the other hand, I'm sure there are people who will say what this

article says.

Since I haven't had any bad effects, I'll still take it unless I found

something else that helps as well as this. I can at least say I feel almost

normal while I have been on Prozac.

There is a class of drugs on the market for depression, anxiety, and a host

of other mental health problems known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake

Inhibitors, or SSRIs.

You have heard of them: Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox, Celexa... to name just

a few...

If you are currently on one of these drugs, or if someone has mentioned to

you that you should get on one of these drugs (your family physician, your

friend, your relative), this notice is especially for you.

I agree, looks like spam to me... I got one of these ads on my system and

haven't been able to get it off for several months, AND I think it's messing up

my system.

Um,...are you on SSRI's? Because your reaction in your email below is

exactly what that person was warning us about.

I looked around the internet and even Law Offices are taking cases for

people on these drugs. I think most of the concern is for those who are

under 18 on SSRI's. I'm on Effexor XR myself. Here are some pages on the

info I found:

Hi LouAnn:

Thank you very much for this e-mail.

I am on Prozac, and have been for about 7 years. I've never had one side

effect at all. In fact, since I've had CFS, it's the only thing that keeps me

going. Dr. Bell who is my CFS specialist, when I saw him last I had asked him

if it was safe to continue taking Prozac and I told him how many years I've been

on it.

He asked me does it make you more tired and I said no. I said it helps me to

have a positive attitude and it keeps me happy. I am not on Prozac because I'm

depressed. I'm on Prozac to help me cope with the fatigue.

The people who we read about in the newspapers that have killed people and

then they say they are on anti-depressants is because those people have

depression.

Dr. Bell said there's nothing wrong staying on Prozac and if it helps with

this illness then just stay right on it.

I always feel on this site if we make a comment then someone will lash out and

then it makes us not want to talk about things. We're here to help others and

help them in their struggles, and not to make people feel bad.

I can assure you; it is definitely not spam. And I am surprised; I

thought it was common knowledge about SSRIs. Certainly been in news a lot. And

is all around the internet - would be surprised in it is not on Mercola's for

example. Just checked; no less then 10 articles about SSRIs on Dr Mercola's

website.

Well - as Alison asked; are you on SSRIs?

And the website about ADDD/ADHD - if anyone checks on it there is

information about SSRIs. In fact; don't know how anyone could miss it. Truly

amazing

what people can miss when they don't want to see.

I agree, don't shoot the messenger.

The message did seem a little harsh. Shan posts alot of good info and deserves

the benefit of the doubt. So let's move past this small issue together.
