I look forward to hearing from you. My PCP told me to stop reading Dr Google and stop reading these posts. She said everyone is different and to do what is best for me and what has worked best for me in keeping my depression and anxiety in check.
Zoloft, Buspar, Wellbutrin and Klonopin enabled me to have a very successful career in commission sales and raise two children and be blessed with five beautiful grandchildren. My wife passed away because she didn’t take care of herself but I have found a wonderful new partner.
The country is turning upside down and the head of Health and Human Services is trying to blame the shooting In Minneapolis on the use of SSRI’s.
My question is whether at 74 I want to upend my life and go through what could be a very long and protracted withdrawal from something that has worked for over 30 years.
I look forward to your response knowing there is not a drug on the market that does not have terrible side effects if you read the packaging. Some advertised on TV even mention death as a possible side effect.
I think SSRI’s have been a godsend to millions of people and just read the side effects on their packaging.
In closing many people continue to drink and smoke and yet how many lives have they ruined. Some have said nicotine is more addictive than heroin.
My wife died from diabetes and her sisters died from smoking and drinking. She told my daughter as she was dying that she ate herself to death.
I just want to put things in prospective.
