Please don't take these meds
Hello everyone! I have dealt with panic/anxiety for years now. I am a born-again christian and strongly believe in healing! I know there are times when medicine is available to us for different things until we are healed. I am in now way against medicine in general but I am strongly opposed to psychiatric medicines!!! When I first was diagnosed I was prescribed Buspar and had some horrible side effects that went away after discontinuing them. From there I was given Celexa and Klonopin. I was on both for 7 months with little to no progress with the anxiety. I decided to wean myself off of them. Klonopin was no problem, however the Celexa was a different story. I slowly weaned off as recommended........the day after stopping the last pill I became extremely dizzy and nauseaous! This lasted all day for 4 days!!! After that the dizziness remained but was better each day.......this went on for over a week! I am now feeling myself again! In fact I feel better than myself! I am happy again! I look forward to things again!! I am not afraid anymore! I am driving again! I go places alone again!! I laugh more!! I cannot tell you how different I was on the meds!! Nothing like this!! I didn;t want to do anything! Everything was a chore and I feared leaving the house! After the meds........no problem!! I take Herbal products now such as Passion Flower, Inositrol, L-Tyrosine and skullcap tea.......ocasionally chamomille tea. Much better!! Please if you can avoid these pills!!!! I know many will say it gives them their life back but it only masks a bigger problem and they are very hard to get off!! Trust God.........He will heal you and guide you through this!!

Re: Please don't take these meds
Hi Sqyrl, I am also a born again Christian and a member of a very conservative local church. I posted "Caught between a rock and a hard place" and that's how I think of my self these days. I have been taking 1.5 mg of KLONOPIN for five years and and 1.0 mg for the last six years. There is no way I could work and make a living if I didn't take this medicine. I tried so many times to quit. I begged the Lord for many years to help me get off of it. I even got off of it for a whole year in the year 2000. I praised the Lord and rejoyced until all the unbearable symptoms came back full force - constant diziness, vertigo, heart arrythmia, palpitations, etc. I was terrified! I was horrified! So, the good doctors told me to go back on KLONOPIN and I did. Now, I am desperately trying to get off K because I hate it. It is not helping because I am relatively on a small dose and refuse to go any higher. I am so miserable and depressed because I don't know what to do any more. I hide from my church because they believe that it is the lack of faith that causes anxiety. I continue to pray for a healing and my wife prays too but nothing is changing. I HATE this poison called medicine but I am hoplessly dependent on it. If I quit it I know that underlying disorder will reappear again with all of its horrific symptoms and I would end up disabled - literally house bound. So if God has chosen not to heal me, what am I supposed to do in the mean time? My doctor now wants to prescribe an anti-depressent but I am horrified of the idea. I hear people end up doing some horrible things when they go on anti-depressents. I just don't know what to do any more. Caught between a rock and a hard place. Louis

I'm abused by our system for telling the truth.
Folks, I'd like you all to know that after 40 years of telling the truth about what happened to my family, on Febuary 22/ 07 I was arrested and taken to Court in Ankle Chains & Hand Cuffs, and charged with 3 counts of Deflamatory Liable. Still no-one has asked for DNA tests but I was still charged. I will publish an update info page, at my web site, listing everything that happened in Ottawa for 7 months of 2006, and who I meet and what they did, http://maxpages.com/sexualabuse after I appear in Supreme Court on April 2/07, and I will continue to keep updating that page, as things occure. Please keep me in your prayers and ask God to give me Justice, I'm being persecuted for telling the truth about the corruption in our Legal System and Canadian Politics. I will keep doing so until my last breath, God willing. I must appear again on May 1. Now June 1. Thank You for carring Byron Prior |
