Barb, that was such a valuable post....thank you!

The experience we had with the awful withdrawal my son went through with Luvox, Zyprexa and Haldol and the short & long term effects that they had on him, has made me very very very cautious of all drugs, but specifically ones that impact the neurological system, I extend this caution even to natural supplements if my research indicates they can impact the brain or nervous system

I recognise the vital importance of these meds for so many people, but as you have said, one MUST only take them with an awareness of what they can do, how they interact with other drugs or supplements and what happens when you want to go off them

Doctors in general are truly not forthcoming (or knowledgable?) enough to educate people correctly on so many meds and instead the patient finds out the hard way.

ok I am off my
