Re: my prozac story.

[Guest guest]

Hi Welcome! I can tell you that this is the place where people get better. This is the place where what you say is not disregarded nor will anyone imply that it is all in your head. This is the place where people listen and understand and through knowledge will bring you back life again. The information in the files is vast, but do read when you get a chance too. You will see through looking through this group, that there are many people who have been in your position, if you choose to follow a few from when they first came to this group you will see their recoveries. There is one person is Wales, who knows the truth on these drugs, his name is Healy. If you fancy some reading, look his name up on amazon.Doctors rarely help, because they refuse to acknowledge the truth, there is huge money in these drugs and the UK drugs governing body is funded by the pharma companies. You are not alone anymore, you do not have to suffer anymore. You can arm yourself with knowledge to keep yourself safe, the knowledge is out there and in our files.I am sorry you have been insulted by people's ignorance, I know how hard that is, I had it throughout my time on seroxat and cipromil. But , it is their ignorance, do not let it hurt you any longer. , you say you have slowly reduced. can you clarify over what sort of time scale and how large your reductions have been please? Here most people find the most tolerable way is to reduce by 5% at a time, then wait until you stablise before making another reduction. The information on this is in the files. I hear your anguish and frustration, everyone here will understand you on that. But you can go on to do positive things with that.I am sorry about your mother. People in the UK care , but pharma companies are very powerful, we are fighting against very powerful forces and doctors still like to stay in their cosy safe houses. There are people fighting in the UK , as there are in the US and elsewhere.I am glad you found us.With Love

hi,this seems a little funny as i dont really know who im writing to,but this is the first place ive found that seems to know anything about or have any care for victims of antideppressants.

i live in wales in the uk and cannot find anyone to help,i cannot get anyone to reply back to me.

i have sufferd completely alone.its been the most terrible part of my entire life.

i was prescribed prozac in january 2006 after being attacked and having my jaw broken.i took the drug for until september 07.

i started to feel very dizzy and ill,i went to my doctors and he said i most probably had an ear infection.

i took the antibiotics but my symptoms just got worse,i felt heavy stiff muscles headaches face swelling,muscle twitches,vomiting.

i went to two hospitals,every doctor told me it couldnt be the prozac,one doctor even told me a story about a girl who thought she was ill for two years but wasnt.

i was treated like an idiot with mental health problems when really what was happening was my body was withdrawing from prozac addiction.

i endured 12 weeks of the most agonising pains,i felt like a hot knife was being pushed in my back every waking moment,i was shivering uncontrolably,my head hurt so much my skin burnt and heated up in flushes that would appear all over my body because as i found out later,seratonin affects your body temperature.

something that the ambulance men seemed to find amusing in their ignorance as they asked if was going through the menopause.such funny stuff when you feel so bad.

i had terrible thoughts of killing my mother .even though i never would.it seemed to play on my mind.

i was staying with her because i couldnt function.

my mind was twisted beyond belief,i had constant thoughts of harming others or myself.

the mental torture was extremely frightening,made a lot worse by all the doctors constant denial of the drugs terrible effects.i would feel extremely nervous and scared permanently,and jump at the slightest noise or thing on tv.

i eventually gave in and went back on them after reading the horrific stories on the internet of people who had tried to get off antidepressants.

these pains and anguish have continued for four years,i wake up everyday and have to deal with muscle spasms ,skin flushing,dizziness,muscle stiffness,swollen hands/face.terrible headaches,eye pains,indigestion like ive never felt ever,swollen stomach and many other symptoms.

i have very slowly cut down and am now on one fifth of a tablet compared to 40mgs of two 20mg tablets a day.

i do feel quite a bit better than i did and the symptoms seem to be disapearing.although after four years of hell.

i havnt received any help or advice as doctors refuse to believe/admit its addictive because they then lose money.

or are so ignorant and uncaring

i wouldve been better off taking heroin,as i would get help to get off and it would be easier to get off.

i do not drink or take drugs.even some my own family refuse to accept that im addicted because "doctors are qualified"

they even told me it wasnt considered addiction because you dont crave it!!!

if it wasnt for my brother and my mother who sadly died of cancer in 09,im sure i would be dead.

[Formatting edited to make this more easily read. --]

i had to suffer this agony whilst seeing her die.

they talk of the terrible social problems with drugs and yet they are no better than drug pushers.

i would really love to make people and especially the medical profession aware of these drugs and their effects on innocent people.

the statistics and information available on these drugs is readily/widely available to those who have the slightest inclin to care.

and yet nobody seems to care,especially in the uk.

you only have to type in ssri withdrawall/prozac problems on the internet to find huge amounts of horror stories.

they tell of a worldwide horror story that amounts to nothing less than human medical testing on unwilling participants.

stories of suicide ,murder,death and severe side effects from all parts of the world and yet everyday doctors presribe more of them to unknowing patients.

these drugs are evil and are ruining peoples lives.they should be banned.

i would apreciate it if somebody could talk to me and assure me through their own experience that i will suceed in getting well and off these horrible drugs.

anybody ...please help?

thank you

Hi , I don't think any of them are great to get off, but once you make it through you realise just how strong you are.Can you be more specific about what you call small amounts please? Let me tell you something, I gave you the name Healy because he is based in the UK and working very hard to get the truth out on these drugs, however, knows how to get anyone off these drugs safely and how to teach them to go on to lead healthy lives. You are in the right place. Here is a place you can feel safe. There is nothing quite so reassuring as having someone know not only what you are going through , but why, and how to make it better, does all this with grace and humility.Have a read of the files in the group on nutrition. The files contain a lot of information that you will find helpful.There are many people in the medical profession who are very ignorant, but, it is slightly better than it was 15 years ago. They are just slow to keep pace! In regard to the help many will get with illegal drugs, that help isn't that great either for many.Please take time to read the files, what you find here, is what gets people well. I have never known anyone know all that does. I know you have had a really tough horrible time, that should never have happened but now you are in the right place to get well again.With Best Wisheshi ,thanks for your email.im sorry its taken a while to reply.i dont feel up to a lot of the time.i tend to feel dizzy and tired a lot.im sorry you had to go through bad withdrawall problems with cipramil and seroxat.ive heard seroxat is terrible to get off?ive tried to reduce in very small amounts over about 2 years but because i went into so much pain with going cold turkey off my tablets i think i really upset my body because i get bad pains ,headaches,muscle cramps.i get these muscle spasms and twitches and pins and needles.it seems never ending after 4 years but im determined to get through it and get back to full health.does anyone know why these muscle twitches/problems happen?ive tried to contact dr david healy but he doesnt seem to reply as with most people.but im sure hes busy,i contacted a place called cita in liverpool and spoke to a volunteer .she was very nice and gave me good advice about drinking fruit juice to keep my blood sugar up and not having alcohol.she had been addicted to tranquilisers for 35 years and got off them.but that was about 3 years ago.so im really glad ive found this site where people have the same problems.i really dont understand the medical professions attitude towards it though.its really ignorant when people are suffering worse than heroin addicts .why is it that you can get help if you take illegal drugs for getting high , when you become addicted . yet theres not even recognition of prescription drug addiction.its terrible.kind regards,paul

,I just wanted to second 's thought:"You are in the right place. Here is a place you can feel safe. There is nothing quite so reassuring as having someone know not only what you are going through , but why, and how to make it better, does all this with grace and humility"When my family was struggling with getting our daughter free of Zoloft, it was hard to know who to trust. I knew we couldn't do it safely without knowledgeable help and support. and this group made it possible to safely come off these drugs. , you are in the right place- you CAN do this!Amy- Honey's momSent from Amy's iPhone

Amen to what was said above, You found the right place to be, I have been set

them but i made it .the doctors call it dependence not addiction that's their

scapegoat.

Hi ,

my name is mark from nz im now 13 months free of paxil (paroxetine in nz or i

think seratax in the uk . i was on 20mg for 10 years got off after 5 years only

to be met by such terrible wdl sypmtoms i was told my underlyng depression was

coming back. the ..stupidly i believed this lie...(im sure many others have

fallen for this one as well!) anyway in jan 10 i felt something was just not

right so it took me 10 months to get off it ...come off slowly i was told

.....and that was it ...well i had no idea slowly meant 1 or 2 years....anyway i

got off and for the last 12 months life has been hell!...but i must say that im

starting to get through the odd day without balling my eyes out for hours...and

the anxiety attacks seem to be just a little more managable. Dr Healy from

Wales writes a great article and says it can take 2- 4 years but will come right

in time. so there is hope and you can do it too.....many people have managed to

get free of it. So dont give up ...at least your now fully aware of the lies and

we knoew the truth ...so fight it and it will slowly pass. just relax throughbad

moments and they will passs. you can do it , and you will.
