Sad
in [Medication]

From: Erin on 15 Jul 2008 06:22 Hi, I'm back after some time; i have discovered that many people, do not like to put emphasis on the impact medications have on people's mental health and life crises. It's funny because if a person has to take insulin for diabetes there's no fuss. Isn't that sad? Anyway, it has been recommended to me to keep my medical advice and research to the net as a hobby, and not as an explanation for things like my DH's recent suicide attempt after withdrawal of an AD for a year, and consequent major life screw-ups-- even when the suicidality ideation stopped after reinstatement of the AD. Go figure. I have no choice but to agree; but i am very disappointed at the emphasis on the strength of personality, and psycho/social, inter-relationship issues in these cases, especially from psychologists and social workers. Biology is taking a back seat. At the end of the day, i suppose if a doctor does not show concern and push the medication without fear of the worst, then why should i? The times I have prevented suicide through advice to medicate have been conveniently forgotten or not mentioned. It's one of the terms of maintaining harmony in our marriage. I will just have to keep my worries to myself. Erin

Go figure. Recommended by whom? Do you mean your husband or his doctor does not want you to talk about links between medication, its withdrawal, and your husband's state of mind, and they've asked you to keep this kind of talk elsewhere (such as the net)? > I have no choice but to agree; but i am very > disappointed at the emphasis on the strength > of personality, and psycho/social, inter-relationship > issues in these cases, especially from psychologists and > social workers.

And definitely by my husband. I don't mind, it's just the to me the cause of the disaster was due to poor medical advice: an opinion which is contested with alternative factors-- such as stress, overwork, mid-life crisis, etc. IMO-- bullshit.

From: Erin on 16 Jul 2008 11:09 Nom de Thanks Nom, I sincerely hope and you know, i think things are getting better, because since reinstatement of the antidepressant for clinical depression, he is much like his old self again, and is able to sleep. The year of withdrawal and previous cutting down on the dose for a few years, presented a completely different person: manic, irritable, depressed, suicidal (two suicide attempts), insomnia, and very aggressive towards me. Why don't therapists recommend psychiatrists? He went to three, and until he took his medication he was a complete mess. He almost succeeded in killing himself. Thanks anyway-- i am sorry to vent so much, but this an issue in Medical practice that should concern doctors and therapists alike. I don't both, but physician care should really get priority when the crisis is so obviously med-related. Erin
