Doctors know this and hand these scripts out like candy. My former doctor wanted me to take Seroquel when I began tapering Xanax. He dumped me when I refused.

Smart decision...sereoqel causes diabetes down the road and outrageous weight gain...its in the same family as Zyprexa.
Once these Dr's get u on these meds, it's almost impossible to get urself off...your own body fights itself.
If you google " how to come off Zyprexa "....you will get thousands...endless...sites..posts....of patients on it trying to come off and can't. PEOPLE...HUMANS!!!.... who are suffering with terrible health problems and have tried many times...but the withdrawals are just too much...even with tapering down to near nothing....once you stop...
You're whole system goes haywire!!
And this is not from an addictive substance!!!!
So many people need answers...they are dying...and want to be saved....
I was on several of those sites not too many moons ago looking for any clue I could use. When I found out I was getting diabetes from my Dr's ....I imagined a life in my 50s giving myself shots..weighing 250..barely being able to walk without losing my breath...having a stroke or heart attack.....
THIS IS IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE?!?!?!?!..... ISNT THAT WHAT THESE MEDS ARE FOR IN THE 1ST PLACE????
IS IT TO DUMB US DOWN, SO WE SHUT UP, BEHAVE, AND FOLLOW ORDERS????
OR ARE THEY TO TREAT AN ILLNESS IN THE MOST RESTRICTED MANNER??..... WHICH IS THE LAW....AND RESTRICTED MANNER CAN BE ALL INCLUSIVE IF IT PERTAINS TO RUINING YOUR HEALTH.
by the way my friend....it is AGAINST THE LAW TO BE COERCED IN ANY MANNER, REPRIMANDED, OR SUFFER ANY NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES BY ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO GET YOU TO TAKE ANY MEDICATION AGAINST YOUR WISHES!!!!!
every patient should know that...bc too many Dr's throw their med degrees around!!!
In closing....I have found a Higher Calling for my 11th try at coming off Zyprexa and finally being successful.
I NOW can be the one person who can go back on those sites I used to visit where others cry out for help....and TODAY I'm not looking for help also.....but am offering my own testimonial with Zyprexa cessation. Perhaps I can teach others how to help themselves get back on the REAL road to recovery....what being healthy feels like, and by having Faith in your own mind's ability to overcome anything,..
Our real strength starts with ourselves 1st. Even my Spirituality originates from within.
Strength is not a pill.................................the VA psych Dr's had me believe 30 yrs ago I couldn't live without them. I wasted all those years sick and messed up from the drugs...115 hospital visits = 5yrs of my life locked up for serving my country??
I wish I saw the Light sooner. But now I'm still young and healthy enough to start life over at day one and try to only look back when it comes to sharing with others the flaws in the MH system that can cause harm.
I talk 2 much ;^)
Peace!!!!
Best wishes!!!..... stay sharp...ok to say no if ur gut is telling u.!@
