Regarding Anti-depressants

[Guest guest]

Hi, ladies. Just wanted to share my thoughts with you on anti-

depressants. I think we need to be careful how we advise those who

are taking them. More than not, they saved my life in the past...I

suffered from severe bi-polar disorder and would not be alive today

if it wasn't for psychiatric care.

I have studied and learned alot more since then, but I'm careful

not to advise others, as I know of one girl who heard a talk at a NA

meeting, someone with 8 yrs. clean and sober. This person was

putting down drugs severely and influenced a new comer who was fresh

off drugs and alcohol, and for 2 weeks had been on anti-depressants

to help her temporarily. As a result, she went off her meds and

committed suicide.

I definitely am an advocate of alterntive medicine, however we must

chose carefully the advise we give to others. It may affect them

more than we realize.

Lots of love and healing prayers,

Sunny
