With all due respect, that's practically an adverstisement for fundamentalist Christianity and at claims of such is grossly inflammatory; not to mention unfounded.

Three things:

1) Many people need their antidepressants to function on a daily basis, and many would NOT be able to do so w/o their medication
2) The "horror story" would be me trying to live in my own skin without my meds. I need medication to function on a daily basis, and life would be a nightmare without them.
3.) I believe posting anything related to religion is against forum rules.

I don't know. My husband need to take anti-depress medicine to deal with his deep depression.

Agreed. And is is extremely dangerous to advise anyone to stop taking the medication that has been prescribed for them without having a medical degree. For someone who is already in an unstable position, and chooses to follow such ill given advise, it could very well be fatal.

Yes, indeed. Can you stand one more personal story?

My childhood sweetheart was diagnosed with clinical depression and was prescribed prozac. He stopped taking his medication, though, and killed himself as a result. That was in 1995.

For those that don't know, prozac is an SSRI, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. They basically balance the brain chemical serotonin in the brain. If you abruptly stop taking these medications like my boyfriend did, you can crash and get very depressed. This is what happened to him, and it led to his suicide. Following the type of advice as promoted by this website is extremely dangerous!

I have never taken anti depressant drugs even though doctor recommended it. But I say no. I don't need drugs to make me a zomie and control my life. If you depress then find a way to get over it. I always find something to do keep my mind off of being despress and keep myself busy. Drugs will not be the answer to solve it. But I do know that the FDA's strongest warning about an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children and adolescents. I know people take drugs for the depressions to help them feel better. But many factors can trigger depression such as: being out of work, serious illness, divorce, flunking out of school, loss of a loved one. Sometimes there is no apparent factor that triggers a depression.

Fortunately, depression is treatable. If you are diagnosed with depression denpend on how bad it is, you take mediciations for it prescribes by your doctor. Some depression can fade away like a bad dream without the drugs. I guess it all denpend on how bad the person depression is. But the drugs can cause suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. That concern me.

Babyblue · 04-24-2008, 09:53 PM

These people had issues before taking the medication. The medication alone is not going to cure the depression they also need a good support system.

LuciaDisturbed · 04-24-2008, 10:04 PM

Looks like there is way too much misinformation out there regarding psychiatric medications.

You really should stay away from that website, Pinky. The website could put your life, as well as others', in danger.

~♥~Pinky~♥~ · 04-24-2008, 10:13 PM

Pardon me? This is Christian link not spam. I got it from my friend's sent me a forward at email. So I posted this general health. Can't I post the thread of website? I am new at Alldeaf.com last 3 weeks ago.

Discussing religion is against forum rules.

LuciaDisturbed · 04-24-2008, 10:18 PM

Pinky, I googled and came up with a couple of really good websites regarding Bipolar Disorder. The information are much more accurate. Read them, you need to be properly educated about your own illness.

NIMH

And

NAMI

I didn't say it was spam. I simply said it was misinformation. I am sure Jillio and others will agree with me.

~♥~Pinky~♥~ · 04-24-2008, 10:23 PM

I never know about anti-depressant drugs. My doctor recommended me. I lost my dad. I already telling about my story in other thread. You're lucky not take it. If I have a depress. I have to do exercise to help get stress and depress away. My husband don't want me to take anti-depressant anymore. He never get it. His mom tried to make him because he had trouble with testing at school. He refused take it. He is lucky! He know how to handle with his secret depress and stress. If I have any problem. I can ask his help me out.

Yeah, I checked it out again. I know it's not enough information. Who cares? Just people who received the medicine and got suicide and murders in history. Thank god! God saved my life. You can read my other thread at depression and bipolar disorder. I am sorry for misunderstand what you said. Please forgive me.

I took a look at your website, and it mentioned Andrea Yates. From what I know, she was UNDERmedicated when she drowned her five children. I've also read in newspapers and heard on the news that her doctor told her not to have any more children as she had too many issues with post-partum psychosis and post-patrum depression and any more pregnancies would cause more problems. She was off her Haldol when she drowned her children. If she had stayed on that medication and was properly medicated, her children might still be alive today. It's a really sad story.

There's a lot of misinformation about Andrea Yates and her psychiatric illnesses and how they were treated.

~♥~Pinky~♥~ · 04-24-2008, 10:54 PM

Yeah, I heard about Andrea Yates. I never take Haldol before. I don't have post-partum psychosis and post-patrum depression. I don't have a children yet. I am getting to get marry next 2 month left to go. We will have a kids in least year. That's so sad to hear either. Then why other women killed the children during she was on medicine?? Can you explain to me?

Yes I second that.

omegaman · 04-25-2008, 08:51 AM

Antidepressants have helped a lot of people. But, different brands may have different effects, like all drugs. And, antidepressants is not the only drug that causes a few people to commit suicide.

~♥~Pinky~♥~ · 04-25-2008, 10:05 AM

I'm friendly but I don't like someone let me down over about anti-depressant drugs situation.
