interesting, as Captain Jack Sparrow would say, (pirates of the carribean)--i love humor. in my web ramblings i keep coming across references to ssris being addictive. after my bouts with benzos, on-going, and 3 years still 'the living dead' after only 3 months of risperdal clobbered me with 'atypical neuroleptic syndrome'---which was unheard of at the time---well, ssri trouble wouldn't surprise me. i was once the 'client'---i prefer that term with shrinks, of the great dr. feigner---whose institute did the fda workup of prozac, zoloft, wellbu---all i may say is the man truly looks as if a used car salesman---i'm not worried about tort, as truth is the best defense.
the fact is the guy was grossly irresponsible and just plain dangerous for me. i don't trust anything at this point, but the oldest tcas and maois---maybe deprenyl. i'm a known paradoxical reactor---it's in all my med records. in near 30 years from alaska(best dr. i ever had, retired head of uof mich neurosurgery), to maui (said smoking pot couldn't cause panic) to a san diego 'harvard top ten' (put on librium daily), to fla. (back on librium, then risperdal)---all in all if this bunch were profs of neuro-surgery, or gps, or broken leg fixers their chance at getting malpractice insurance would equal a snowball's chance on the surface of the sun. i know it's a tricky area, mistakes will be made---on the other hand, no other area of medicine is as safe for the incompetent. and the drug cos.? well, just search 'lithium and suicide'. money over life. makes the mafia look tame--but mobsters don't take that oath--'do no harm.'--people do need help, but when medicine yields ethics to money---time to clean house.
