I am on Venlafaxine. Thank you for the heads up. I am saying this because it was not too many years ago I came off ZOLOFT. I now understand why I thought I was dying during the withdrawal process yet when I asked the doctor about what I was experiencing he said in effect no no there is no connection. Come on medical world be honest with your patients.

There are more doctors coming around but if they’ve never had a patient with this problem….!?!? They should be reading all the new information that has come out over the past decade or so. I hate that I ever tried these meds. I’ve never felt well on any of them and I have tried four with several diagnoses that were wrong. Too many docs and patients passing them off as “happy” pills.

Yeah, seriously. It almost makes you feel victimized, and technically, we are all victims of big Pharma. I no longer trust any of my doctors to the full, and I honestly like learning about how I can take care of my own body by eating the right things and that sort of stuff. It's just absolutely crazy what these drugs do to your body.

My experience with doctors is, “they want to do the right thing” Facing them is the pharmaceutical industry, attorneys, hospital owners and the administration of the hospitals. Liability is a dirty word and every step will be taken to minimize exposure.

The roots of medical problems began from conception through my birth. Since my retirement in 2006 at 59 I have spent a good part of time researching my life. My purpose was to answer who am I am and what factors impacted why I behaved as I did. My research is largely complete.

I wanted any readers to have my background information so they can understand why I carry no hard feelings.

I do my best to keep my eye on what’s immediately before me. The Dali Lamas said, There Are Only Two Days In the Year That Nothing Can be Done. One Is Called Yesterday and the Other Is Called Tomorrow.
