I've
been clean of anti-depressants for about a year now and all that
you say is totally true. People will finally start to figure out
these drugs are dangerous and are screwing up millions of lives,
men, women, and such precious children. No one deserves to be
medicated without their consent. I was forced to take these meds,
even though I was crying out for help, and no one would listen
(Crying now at the comp, god help me!). No one would give me the
time to day to help me. Only my best bud, my hubby stood by me
and supported me through all this. My family still to this day
thinks I should be medicated again "for my own good."
NO! NEVER AGAIN!
I
wish that I could join a group that would take a stand against
these money hungry, devouring pharmaceutical companies and sue
them up the A** and bring justice to those who have been irreparably
harmed by these "legal" substances. If the drug works
for you, well then fine, you are welcome to it. But remember,
1 drug may lead to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 8. Just look at Wynona Ryder!
8 med prescriptions FORGED!!!! Is this the kind of thing we want
to do to ourselves and our kids? Medications are fine to relieve
symptoms FOR A FEW DAYS!!!! NOT FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE! You get
a cold, you take Tylenol Cold. Minimal side effects. You feel
crappy for a few days, then you get better. The same thing goes
for depression, you have good days and bad days, fun times and
hell time. Getting out of yourself is the key. There is an AWESOME
book out called "Depression is a Choice" and it's is
an EXCELLENT book on the subject. I've NEVER read a more profound
discussion ever written on this topic. Everyone who struggled
with depression should find it and read it. It helped me with
the last vestiges of the "dis-ease" and helped me to
get a grip on life, and to live again. Get out of yourself, help
a friend, play with your dog and maybe buy him a bone at Petco,
or something, but do something for someone else and you are SURE
to feel better. If depression is anger turned inward, then there's
the problem. It's turned INWARD. You have to turn OUTWARD to heal
from this. It's the ONLY way.....meds are not the answer, they
cause to much suffering and grief. Think of the lined velvet pockets
of the CEO's of the drug companies when they "tell"
you it's a "chemical imbalance." Of course it is....their
"chemical" can cure it. SNAKE OIL!!!
