Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Dear New Members, To those new members who have taken psychotropic drugs, please educate yourselves about what they do to you, what to expect when you get off and how to get off safely. Most of the time for those on long term use, the adverse symptoms do not appear immediately with SSRI type meds. You must taper off very slowly over time. These drugs cause mental illness and when coming off they can cause severe mental illness due to the severe biochemical changes that will occur. Symtoms can be severe and can progress over many months. The bowel troubles are because that there are a lot more serotonin receptors in the intestine than there are in our brains. Benzos are very addictive, but the person is usually unaware that they are addicted until they try and get off and then all hell breaks loose. It can be the most severe withdrawal of any medication or drug and can last in a prolonged state for years and in some cases can be permanent. There are hundreds of articles in our archives about benzodiazapines, SSRI, and other psychotropics. These drugs cause damage to many areas of our bodies and brains. There are links to many resources on our links pages (address at bottom of messages )about these drugs. Support groups, education pages, advocacy pages, etc. regards, Frank Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
