Not to long ago in a not so distant place lived a guy named kevin who love to drink captain morgan and smoke the best weed. That was him having fun and enjoying life. But now I am a little older and wiser,but I am still felling the reprocutions.4 yrs ago I tried to stop smoking cigarettes with wellbutrin. It totally sent me in a downward spyrial.My doc said to just stop taking the wellbutrin and when i did all hell broke lose I suffered major panic major deppression and phycosis.Ialso started hearing thoughts in my head to hurt my children.it plagued me day and night for 4 weeks.at the time I had stop drinking so I am sure that added to the mental state.And as far as harming my children I love them way tooooooo much they are 3,5 11.2girls and a boy.they and my wife are all that kept me from taking my life back when this all happened. But now I have a new challenge.I was put on celexa and zyprexa did really well for couple of years. Even though I didnt drink any more i continued to smoke pot while on my meds and didnt have any problems.Untill one day I started having sudden burst of panic, not full tilt attacks but sudden burst that lasted for 60 -90 seconds.Yet I didnt heed the warnings .I kept smoking and they got worse.Then I changed from zyprexa to seroquel because of rapid weight gain from the zyprexa.Now I am back t o square 1.but not as bad this time .I have quit weed and alcohol and I have been sober for 31/2 years weed free for 2 weeks. I feel better in alot of ways ,I finally got my prayers answered Ijust wish my brain would get back to its normal thoughts.tell your kids or some one you know about my experience and god willing they will find better things to do with their brains other than drugs and alcohol.please pray for the ones who have lost their way and may god find them with the light of his love ,any responces to this can be posted on psycho babble. or e-mail me at barnette_kevin33@ yahoo.com

Dear Chefdog,
I am sorry you have suffered so much in your life and feel happy that you have the great love of your family to fall back on. Your message is important. For some people, drugs are like a loaded gun that can go off at any time. But for the grace of God go I. I feel very fortunate that for all my experimentation with drugs as a young person that I did not end up addicted. It would have fit in perfectly with the illness that seems to be going from generation to generation in my family. Alcoholism and depression are rampant in my family. I got the depression part and am well aware that alcohol for me is that proverbial "loaded gun". Thank you for reminding me of something I need to remember. Blessings to you and your family, :) Anne
