I’m like Michael Savage. I believe a lot of the hacks in DC are on psych meds and other meds that alter their mind in unhealthy ways. I’m dead serious. Arlen Spector would be one. McCain too

My wife had some issues with reacting in the opposite direction of what an anti-depressant is supposed to correct. She has what I guess they call and chemical imbalance.

Before we got together, she was a wild college chick who was spiraling out of control. She ended up dropping out, losing her scholarship and going from one bad relationship to another. Ultimately ending up with an attempt on her life.

After I met her, she thought what was missing was a person who cared for her like I do. Unfortunately, she started becoming volatile again. Lows and highs were extreme.

I decided to sit her down and tell her that her chemical imbalance is not anything to fight. Just like people with asthma, heart disease or diabetes, it must be treated to continue a normal life. I told her that its important because its not just her its effecting but me and our kids.

She agreed to seek some more help and to find a medication that works. We saw many people have issues with various medications as they all arent the same.

We watched for any warning signs that would indicate adverse effects and stop it and try another drug.

We found that wellbutrin was the key to her lock. It works like a charm and has kept her within that high-low range that you want.

I wouldnt be so quick to slam all anti-depressants. Some work better than others and its all dependant on a good idea of all side effects. The main thing is to educate yourself about all medications.
