Re: case reports being requested (w/response)

[Guest guest]

, just wanted you to know that " Honey " and I sat down and completed

this- sent it in just now.

This was the first time we had really gone back and reviewed all those years-

there was much of it she didn't/doesn't remember.

Hope it will help

** Amy and Honey,

THANK YOU! Every little bit helps. It'a all confirmation that people suffer

tremendously from having taken these drugs.

Re: case reports being requested

I just completed and e-mailed my case report. I hope this will be the

beginning of some much needed changes. :-)

Hi Group Members,

Traditionally, the very few

requests for help here have fallen on mostly deaf

ears. I'll say it again -- if this was done years

ago chances are you wouldn't be in this position

today. Make something good out of this tragedy in

your life and take the time to share your history

with antidepressants. Please follow the format

below. If all the data isn't included, it can't be

used. Thanks. --

Does this also apply to Benzodiazepines? Or only antidepressants?

Thanks,
