Wrong diagnosis: depression-

Good for you Dana. Lets also not forget that being sick, losing your

job/or home, as most of us have, will make NORMAL people depressed for

normal reasons, and taking antidepressants won't put your life back

together or make you well.

Antidepressants are big money-makers for drug companies, because they

are Rxed long term. That's their 'cup of tea', medicines that are

Rxed for long term, not things that make you better in 10 days. Drug

company sales people push these drugs to doctors who Rx them to their

patients, particularly patients that have symptoms they don't know how

to diagnose correctly.

Hi Dana,

I have to say that I appreciate your effort. It will be a tough

fight but beneficial to all of us. I wanted to add that my former

PCP who couldn't diagnose me put me on Lexapro during a period where

the toxins were all through my body. I took one Lexapro because of

course according to her it was all in my head. I almost died due to

another secondary condition caused by Mycotoxicosis. I ended up

getting diagnosed with Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency and my

endocrinologist said that I probably came close to adrenal crisis

when this happened. This is when your organs fail and you die. My

PCP at the time told me not to call her office anymore and to wait

until my next appointment to come in so I told my husband that if

something happened to me tell them something is wrong with my adrenal

glands. This happened six months prior to my diagnosis of Secondary

Adrenal Insufficiency and ten months before my diagnosis of

Mycotoxicosis caused by a medical procedure so even then I knew more

then my doctor. It's frustrating to say the least.
