IM ANGRY! But not at you folks...

[Guest guest]

I see there's been concern about well meaning words, and then the

concern of hurting my feelings.

First, I'd been married to my husband for 13 years; 12.5 of those

years I had no idea he had AS. If anyone knows anything about those

with AS; you'll know that being married will toughen your parasol,

darken the palms of your white gloves and wilt your curls, which your

AS darling will never notice, and think you're still as perfectly

beautiful.

Second, during the times my tears subside, I pray to God for

understanding, comfort, and peace. During which time, I have been

given a type of epiphany. My darling was on Effexor. Many of you will

widen your eyes and cover your mouth as you clearly have knowledge how

mentally destructive this " anti-depressant " is. I am PISSED! I am

ANGRY!I was never told, I discovered this in his van. The first line

of side effects is " increased thoughts of suicide or attempting of

suicide... " every web page!! Why did not OUR family Dr. warn me to

watch him for this?! Why doesn't the samples come with a warning label

ON the package?! Why wasn't close follow-up done with OUR Dr. who

prescribed this?!

I have a connection to a prominent Chicago attorney whom I intend on

contacting before the week is out. (I just have to get my nerve up, as

this is really really big for me) I've let many things go, as those of

us who are partnered with someone with AS, we are prone to forgive for

our own peace. Not this time. I saved my fighting energy for this

folks. I'm telling you this so that I may not chicken out from the

begining process of at least calling this contact. My husband's honor

is at stake: should ANY of my sons find out the coronor's final

determination (suicide) I will defend my husband's position that the

drug Effexor robs individuals of their freedom of willful positivity

by inhibiting the release of seratonin.

I urge anyone taking this drug to be VERY careful; or even talk to

your doctor about 'weaning' you off of this and finding new treatment

along more natural means. I'm not saying anyone should just hop off

this drug...as that also causes major risks for suicide.

FYI: ALL (every single one, even dating back to the Texas University

shooting!) school shootings have been linked to an improper dosage or

missed dosage or poorly Rx'd anti-depressants! The woman who drowned

her 5 beautiful children and even intended and attempted suicide many

times was also on EFFEXOR! http://www.counterpunch.org/prozacsuicide.html

though the previous link features prozac; effexor doesn't take long to

show up as another contributor.

WTF are drug companies thinking?! I am so angry!

(don't you worry though, I'm not angry at you folks, or my gorgeous

kids- you all are what keep me going!)
