"I'm so glad you were able to realize what was happening to you. I'm sure it was scarey! I hope you are doing well now!! ;)"
The final straw was when my husband was gone on a trip. I could hardly stop my thoughts of killing my three girls and then myself. I did find out much later that the dose my Doctor had me on was extremely high. No other doctor could believe it was prescribed. Needless to say, I have a different doctor now and I am doing very well. Thank you for your concern. I normally wouldn't share this much on a thread, but this is such an extremely important topic and I hope that it helps someone else if they have these types of reactions.
Thanks for sharing! This IS extremely important information for anyone to know about. I am shocked every day at what some doctors are prescribing their patients when it comes to SSRIs, MOAIs etc. Drugs like Zoloft/Prozac are only meant to be used by humans for 6 months or less. There have not been enough studies done on long term usage. And, since depression is medically classified differently than manic-depression, bipolarism, schizophrenia it is difficult for an M.D. to know what to prescribe if they do not have the training and clinical experience....as you well found out.
If you or anyone else wants the name of an excellent book on the subject, FReepmail me.
