The problem with your statements is that these drugs make you think that suicide is preferable to livingl; they make you think that suicide is a perfectly resonable answer to your problems. they make death seem preferable to any other alternative. When he tried to kill himself by jumping off that bridge last year, he was on Paxil. I know how he felt. The poor man had a brain injury. They always overdope the brain injured population, which is the worst thing they could do, but I'll bet this guy had been on and off psych meds for many years. This was just the culmination of mental heath treatment. Blind Reason a novel of espionage and pharmaceutical intrigue Think your antidepressant is safe? Think again.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi Kathy! I have been following your posts about and the Whisper setting. I just had to type to you and tell you about my experience. It took me awhile before I used the Whisper setting for any length of time. I still don't use it all that often. All last year, (my first year being hooked up) I had no idea what Whisper did. I just couldn't notice much of a help with it when I would try it so always switched back to M. In the Fall, when I started bowling and school again (Volunteer Kindergarten Teacher's Aide), I had new maps and the bowling alley and school were noisy so I gave the Whisper setting another try and I couldn't believe how much I liked it for certain times. It really helped me especially at the bowling alley and when the kindergarteners were extra noisy and during school assemblies. I don't use Whisper all the time and I was surprised that 's audie was urging him to use it. Mine never did. It's there if we want to use it. But, it's not mandatory for us to use it. I'm glad you are not pressuring him to have it on. When he is ready to experiment with it, he will. Keep those updates coming. It sounds like he is doing well. Continued success!
