Hello to all,
My name is Carolyn.
Im new here. Im not so sure if that statement is so true?
I mean I wish I knew where this came from before I so choose to speak on it. I will say with my own experience....
I was on anti-depressant drugs and I developed Steven Johnson Syndrome. Its an allergy that be caused by any number of drugs and it doesn't happen right away.
At any case. I had this reaction that well... it almost killed me. I don't ever want to experience it ever again. I have severe depression as well as anxiety. I had to go off my meds and under no circumstances will I ever choose to go on them again. So I suffer horribly some days. Not to mention when I was on those meds it just made me fell full of chemicals. I mean well I was. I just felt toxic. The saddest thing of all is yes the medication helped. My question is are these medications designed to be taken on a forever basis?
