...energy I have. My ptsd has been worsened by severe Legal Abuse Syndrome. I do not think I would be alive if I had stayed on those %%$@$% ssri's or if I did not change my diet and take supplements. There is a new documentary called What the Health. I have heard very good things about it...

...(1998, 2000). The first study concludes: The second study concludes: So why aren't docs using HRV to gauge the effectiveness of prescribed SSRI's? Has anyone's treatment team has ever suggested that they have an ECG to assess their PTSD and/or the effectiveness of the meds they are taking?

...I am struggling with insomnia due to work related stress. I have suffered medical trauma in that I received severe insomnia 4 years ago from an SSRI I took after having a baby. This drug damaged my brain. Now, 4 years later, I am healing a lot because of mindfulness and supplements. But it...

...backing down on the dose but adding an adjunct to 'boost' the effect, or getting off of it and going to a med that has similar action (ie, 'SSRI', 'SNRI', 'mood stabilizer', etc.), but different side effect profiles. And if you've gotten to 10-14 days with no change in psych symptoms and...

...didn't really help. I've had other therapies, but so far no luck w meds etc... That was all out of pocket too. I've been looking but not having much luck so far. I'm now thinking that maybe a neuro/psych might be the answer. I have a paradoxical reaction to most ssri/ssni etc... Thanks...

...my benefit and has always had very clear boundaries. I loved her and she healed me at a very dark time when I was in severe withdrawal from an SSRI. I can tell you from experience how many therapists treat you as a collection of disorders and subtly make you feel less than them. It is the...

...sessions at the moment. I'm not drinking heavily or doing drugs - in fact prior to October I hadn't taken drugs for years - and I've been on SSRI medication for nearly a year. Honestly I wasn't trying to self-diagnose. It was in a newspaper article I happened to read about dissociation, and...

...reactions! I am sorry to say this but sometimes you have to be careful with new docs. I had post partum depression that was made worse by an ssri. I was hallucinating and having severe intrusive thoughts that I word hurt the kids. Luckily I was understood. I always was able to get out the...

I kind of mentioned this to the psych. He said that combining meds was "begging for side effects."

...me to act with my children the way she did with me. I also have a lot of sleep debt and am healing from protracted withdrawal syndrom from an SSRI and a benzo, so this plays a role. I do bring this up in therapy and am pushing myself to be even more forthcoming with my T. So, I decided to...

...it to get it working. So last night was able to use it. YEAH! The Wellbutrin is making me feel odd somehow. It is an SNRI rather than an SSRI. SSRI's were horrible for me, dumbing me down big time. Anyway, I feel like the crying thing is starting to subside. Thank freaking god. The...

Prozac carries a moderately high risk of addiction, along with Xanax and similar anti-depressant medications. Additionally, as it's an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), there's a potential risk of anticholinergic side effects. These health issues have also been found with...

Yep it was rough coming off those SSRI's man. The last one I was on was a zoloft knock off I can't even remember the name. But those pills are the absolute worst. Any of them in my opinion. They filled me with suicidal thoughts when I had none before. And coming off them caused...

...a blind eye to it. I think the overall thought was that bullying would 'toughen kids up'. Of course, at that time, they didn't feed kids SSRI's and similar drugs like candy to numb them out, so every word cut like a knife to the heart. And it was never a one on one thing. The bully...

...(citalopram) for 2 years now. I found it hard to adjust to as the side effects slowly built one on the other. I'm told that's normal for ssri's. Turned me into a zombie to start with, then massive hunger (depression causes me to avoid food), energy building and finally mood lift. Took...

...Last year was horrible, I was in church and when prayers were offered and mothers were mention I nearly broke in to tears. I started taking an SSRI and seeing a therapist about 2 months ago. Of course we talked about my mother, the names that she called me and other abuses that she inflicted...

...videos on Australian recommendations and phamocology PTSD - experts not me. I will still look for where I read about situation depression and SSRIs Link Removed This is not the article I read re short term use and chronic - but I will keep looking Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors...

...drug's bioavailability, which will essentially give you the beginnings of an overdose. All the symptoms you describe are quite consistent with SSRI overdose. That doesn't mean there are no drugs you can take. Effexor is an SNRI. I'm going to guess you've also tried some form of an...

...that you'll benefit from a primary and an adjunct medication, with the adjunct specifically in order to help augment the good in the SN or SSRI, and push back against the more dulling effects. But it sounds like your doc doesn't mind spinning the wheel a little. Personally, I take...

...that a talk to my doctor about the possibility of being prescribed relaxing/sleeping pills for night. But also that I might benefit from ssri medication. I'm going to have a serious think about this over the next few days weighing up the pro's and cons. Hoping to hear other people's...

...this when I had post partum depression. I was so hypervigilent over the baby that I did not sleep. I then had a 5 mos manic reaction to the SSRI they gave me on top of the post partum. I worked my but off in that situation. That drug was giving me psychosis like symptoms and I pushed them...

My family is urging me to change medications as they believe they are not working. My doc didn't want to change until my thyroid issues were resolved. Both my brother and sister did not respond well to the SSRI that I have been on and I wonder if I am no longer responding well either.

This is brilliant. This could change so many lives.... save so many lives. Goodbye SSRI's and antipsychotics! (one day perhaps).

I have had sleepiness from SSRI antidepressants. In fact, it is their worst side effect for me. Have you tried taking it at night instead of in the morning? Currently I am on Prozac and it actually has a kick at first, so morning is the best time for me to take it but I do get a drag in the...

Just been back to my doctor and [again] she doesn't seem to "get" PTSD/CPTSD. She wants me to try yet another SSRI, but antidepressants just seem to turn my symptoms up to number 11 and beyond. There is a Psychiatrist here at Oxford University in the UK who is trialling Ketamine infusions...
