Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 It depends on where the doctor practices and how common his/her name is. If you have the individual's name and know which state and city he/she lives and practices in, that would be most helpful. With this information it would be fairly easy to get the needed contact information on-line. If for some reason you had no success with that, you might try contacting some of the insurance companies that provide coverage in that particular locality. If all you have is the name, and don't know anything else - you might try contacting the American Medical Association, American Psychological Association, American Psychiatric Association, or the state licensing boards. > > Hi Everyone, > > I have a favour to ask of the group, in particularly any of the > members in the United States.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi All, Sorry, unfortunately another long ramble. I seemed to have really gone off the rails at the end. Massive doses of fish oil (DHA I suspect) are making me depressed but at least I am feeling something. OK a little more detail may help here. I have an exact name and I know he is living in New York (I assume he is practicing there now). I even have an email address. In the past have not provided much of my story. I am from Johannesburg, South Africa but I now live in the UK. I stopped Prozac 2.5 to 3 years ago before moving to the UK. The psychiatrist who prescribed the Prozac had since moved to New York. email has been going back and forth between him and I for about 3 to 6 months. It has more or less got to the stage where I have stated that he either writes a letter to Elli Lilly documenting my situation or I will have a formal letter delivered to him in which I document my condition as I understand it (hence the need for an address.) This letter with then be posted on the Internet along with his name and unfortunately mine. I have offered to fly to America should he require to see before writing a letter to Elli Lilly. He is currently away for three weeks so I am waiting until after Christmas. What I have got him to admit so far is that he thinks I am possibly suffering from some rare side effect of Prozac. Unfortunately reading the rest of what he has said I don't think this has disuaded him from continuing to use Prozac. I have said before on this group that I suspected that he, at the very least, became aware of some aspects of the condition that we are referring to as PSSD while he was prescribing Prozac to me. I suspect that he was probably unsure of what he had seen reported and chose not to inform me of the risk. Instead he used stealth questioning (he tried to hide the question in conversation - not very well I may add) to determine if I was suffering from one the symptoms, namely erectile dysfunction. This in my opinion unethical, but totally unprovable. In almost any other medical scenario a doctor I think would have warned me that there may be risk with some medication I was taken as he became aware of it. My present line of attack is designed to weaken his ability to use any form of stealth questioning in the future. If he writes the letter to Elli Lilly (of which I wan a copy) there can be no doubt then that he has accepted that my situation is most likely caused by Prozac (The best outcome but unlikely). If he choses not to write the letter then it is just down to my blunt declaration. The final part is to post the outcome on the Internet, if I can hold my nerve. This at least will allow people to see that he was warned. This may also at least eliminate the stealth questioning approach to checking for symptoms. I am taking suggestion for the content and/or wording of the letter. I will however be very careful to word this letter as my understanding of my condition. I am expecting counter measures on of which will most likely be group psychosis. Possibly the greatest problem is the long term integrity of these records. I just have not thought on a good place to store them. I have thought about trying to have them inserted into the British Library collection but I am not sure that they would be interested in such material. I/We would have to collect far more records from a lot of people for it to be of any benefit for future research. Unfortunately I am now 35 and I see what I had hoped for my life fading away. Last year I was roped into been Santa Claus - the lot of the single guy with on children, wife or girlfriend. I was left with my friend's two year old and I cried while she slept on my lap. I have seen some improvements but unfortunately I no longer seem to have the ability to emotionally bond with people let alone fall in love with someone, marry them and raise a family. My core defense again any life ending stupidity also seems to have been damaged, previously if I fell in a hole the shock of any sort of suicidal thoughts would kick me back to reality. Sometimes now I just fall into the bottomless abyss and no emotional defensive measures come into play. My emotions also seem " decoupled " . I tried once to explain this as my emotions not " cascading " they just don't flow together to make a greater whole. Bits and pieces seem to work independently or not at all. In the longer term I would be happier if at least I could find somewhere safe to deposit any records. Suggestions.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Don't give up Murrey, while you are suffering so much depression your brain can't heal. Work at overcoming the depression and try to get relationships going again. Not easy I know, but I have a girlfriend at the moment who puts up with my low sex drive. She wasn't what I was after but she has been great company to me and is bringing me back to life. She likes me. One chap here had fantastic success after doing a lot of CBT and then getting a gorgeous girlfriend. He had no sex drive but it gradually returned to full pelt. He had no sex drive for four years, so there's hope for us all. By the way, DHA has been known to increase depression. Ultra pure EPA (without DHA) is better.
