Anti-depressants/ psychiatric medication
I will not touch any of those medications now. I was tried on them years ago. Since that time I was in a motor vehicle accident that injured me severely. I have had to apply for disability and was denied. They held it against me that I will not take these drugs even though I am claiming severe depression. They hold it against me that I take pain medication to control chronic pain. In their opinion I am not doing all I could to get better. I did try these anti-depressants (at least 15 different kinds) each time I had a horrible experience on them. The last two that I was tried on actually made me psychotic and I ended up in the psych ward. I know how these medications effected me and that the effects were from the medications. I never had problems of this sort before taking the medication and it was only after a very short time on the medication that I had these problems. I made the mistake of just throwing them away instead of tapering down and that was when I had the psychotic reaction. Do not just stop taking these medications abruptly. I warn you. You must taper them down to get off them. I didn't because I was so scared of how they made me feel and I think I damaged my brain from just stopping them abruptly. I would get your wife tapered off any anti-depressant, psychiatric medication ASAP. Let us know how it is going will you? I am worried about you both and your daughter.
