BONES

[Guest guest]

I was put on these drugs because I was so stressed out and nervous, I had to

vomit all day long what looked like radiator fluid, and I felt like I was going

into shock, my face and chest would get all tingling sensation and bloatchy,

very pale as if all the blood was drained out, and my hands would clench up with

my thumb and fingers straight out (not a balled up fist) so I went to the

emergency room and had gallbladder surgery, after the surgery my expert medical

team said " no gall stones " " must be stress " I was like " no shit " and was put on

effexor at first, my symptoms got worse, so I was put on some other SSRI and got

even more worse, then put on some other kind of SSRI and because I was sooooo

extremely exhausted all of the time psychotropics were added, which made me so

paranoid I was convinced I really was insane just like they told me I was. I

couldnt even string a sentence together, and the cab driver got a real good

chuckle the time I couldnt remember where I lived, I became so petrified I could

not go out in public, it was much too frightening for me, and the side effect of

massive weight gain really really really did not help my self esteem at all, the

weight gain made me so depressed there is not a way for me to convey the EXTREME

humiliation I felt, I used to be a cocktail waitress for thirteen years, I used

to love to go out and be seen before I was medicated, I quit cold turkey because

I didnt know any better, by the time I found this board and Creel I

couldnt go back and do it all over, just couldnt. I didnt get depressed until

after the vast wake of personal devastation that these drugs caused, and all of

that can NEVER be put right

Hey DAvid & TONY this is LARRY from Arkansas it's good to know there are

medical professionals in this group. I suffer from depression & panic attacks.

Hospitalized 4 times in the past year.

And how much of your problems are attributable to the treatment you are

getting. No way you were hospitalized and not treated with a pharmacopia of

mind-altering, brain-damaging drugs.

Low testosterone tied to broken bones in older men

" Measurement of...testosterone provides additional clinical

information for the assessment of fracture risk in elderly men, "

Meier and colleagues conclude. The study is published in the January

14, 2008 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

Kate,

    I'm nearly twenty two and have been told I have osteopenia.  Found out a few

months ago actually.  My RD recommended I start taking Boniva or some other

osteoporosis drug.  But as I'm more reserved, I just stick to Viactiv and

calcium supplements.  I haven't had another scan to say if it's working, but

it's better than I was I suppose.

: )

I don't want to be crippled and cracked

Shoulders, wrists, knees and back

Ground to dust and ash

Hi Kate

I take a drug called Bonviva which I take once a month for bone density, I

don't know if you have heard of it. The only thing I haven't had a density

test to see what difference it has made I just take it as a precaution

medicine.

Might be worth discussing it with your doctor.

Best wishes

I have a shoe bag that I put all my drugs in and take them all at once with

my Vit D, Calcium, and Vit C in the morning... if they are all together, I

remember to take them, I find. Maybe that would help? I'd be nervous if I

were taking prednisone that long too, although I'd bet you're at a lower

dose.
