> when i say a med has caused a porlem it is bewause i will go from being able to feel all the emotions that i felt for the 1st 17 years of my life.i could *feel* music.i could *feel* love. and i could look up at the night sky and see all the stars and it would just blow my mind how big this universe is.
> then in the summer of 2005 i decided i was sick of being too vulnerable to letting others bring me down. my grades in school sucked because my priorities were all wrong and i had more focus on social problems rather than my school work.
> i started seeing a psychiatrist and they evaluated me and diagnosed me with "moderate depression". i remember as i was filling out the questions asking me how depressed i was i was thankful i wasnt near as bad as many of the situations that had been described.
>
> and the3n it came time to see the psychiatrist. he prescribed me 4 different meds. cymbalta, adderall, geodon, and aricept.
> the cymbalta was for depression
> adderall was to help with focus in school
> geodon was to stabilize my moods (i was not diagnosed as bipolar and i dont think i was bipolar)
> and aricept was just to help with some mild memory problems.
> fast forward 2 months and i now have SEVERE emotional problems. crying way too easily. i now cant stay in school a whole day. i have no joy in being with friends and life on a whole is less enjoyable. also, my sexual functioning is worse. i decide to stop all the meds. i go for a year off them and my mood doesnt improve a bit from how it was after being on them for 2 months. even during this time, i didnt think the meds had caused the problems. i then finally decide to try more medications only to end up worse. while taking the med... and the effect DOES NOT GO AWAY after stopping the med.

> what i am sick and tired of is being questioned and scrutinized and bullied my psychiatrists themselves about my situation.. and it is going to lead to my death. i am not going to accept going another summer with my brain in this situation. i am not experiencing life. i live in a static world. i dont enjoy anything. and everyone acts like is is so far fetched that psychiatric medication could do this to a person.. i am sick of it.Friends,
