> well it's real and it happens to people, I've had it twice but only a mild case both times thankfully and that was because I was totally stupid, you feel extremly cold and have the shivers, shakes and sweats, similar to the flu and you sleep on and off for a couple of days. I didn't know what was happening to me at the time but I now know it kills people in very extreme cases. By the way I don't think it's a great idea to tell people who are on AD's to run out and take street drugs as a reward or a good way to celebrate coming off them

> What's that about, don't you think that's an irresponsable suggestion for somebody who is already taking medication for a mental illness. We all learn from our mistakes and if I can post my mistakes for people to read I'd like to think that they might think twice before they drop (pop) or snort something. I know people take drugs, it's become part of our lives. At the end of the day, street drugs and AD's don't mix. Please be careful.I dont know if you have ever been in therapy but treatment is done without the patient knowing what the problem is sometimes.....Not knowing this persons situation...I thought maybe if they held off a little longer, their feelings might change...relating to how they feel usually helps. What if at this moment they were about to do it and it would kill them but if they read that email and decided to hold off a bit longer and saved their life. I dont control whether people do drugs or not...I do know that I at one point was the exact same as this person. So forgive me if I am relating to them on the same level. I have experience in both doing E and taking AD's....oh and by the way....I have a brain tumor and have had two brain surgery's and suffered my share of life experiences with depression and chemical substances(half my life)I am not proud of this and do not wish it on anyone else at all but when I reach out to try to help someone in my own way I feel extremely hurt and attacked...once again it comes down to people reacting based on ignorance(lack of information...just like people do with depression)so I think maybe you should think twice about what you post here...you have to consider the state of mind of ALL people. This is a very sensitive website and I dont want to cause any sort of stress here for people...so lets just let this be. I hope you understand my position. I do understand yours....its easy for my email to read that way...i didnt look at that before i sent it. I do however want the best for people and if my misfortunes can save someone else I will gladly open up old wounds to help them. I apologize to anyone who might have read my message and thought that I meant E was a good drug. It is not..none of them are....it is, like Effexor, just another drug...but it is highly addictive. Who needs to be addicted to drugs on top of having depression....not a good idea. Okay...I need a breather.
