It was the worse 5 days of both our lives. I saw the onset. The shrink saw her an hour before she saw satan and upped the Zoloft and said see me in 3 months. Don't get me wrong antidepressants have their place and for many are a godsend. But doctors as well as patients and their families need to understand the potential for that happening.
Anything Andra's preacher ever said or even her husband gets distorted and the mind starts living it as reality. They did it to my wife twice. They stopped her meds once and in two days she was OK. The shrink comes in and Ups the dosage again and the nurse the next days gives it to her. Within one hour she was relapsed. It took three days that time for it to clear out. Thanks to prayer and those Freeppers I came home after it started again and went to a search engine and typed Trazdodone {sp} +Zoloft +adverse reactions. There it was. Persons with Neurological damage such as sensory damage run a higher risk.
Before her problems about 12 years ago shrinks had tried me on SSRI's for G.A.D. the problem is mine is Vestibular and sensory processing damage oriented with G.A.D. as secondary cause and effect. Xanax is a wonderful drug. It took firing 5 shrinks to find one who thought so too. SSRI's about sent me over the edge. One very bad experience put me into Dysreflexia with Paxil. A Foley brought needed relief and stopped the Dysreflexia. I am trained to recognize Dysreflexia for obvious reasons and I missed it with myself till it was almost too late.
Persons taking SSRI's should understand all it can take is let's say taking OTC cold medication like Nyquil to do it.
...I feel for you...really I do...misdiagnosis runs rampant.....and not to scare you....don't know if you are still on it...but the worse drug addtiction there is is from benzodiazepines....aka Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan etc. It is so addicting, worse then Herion that when some come off it they not only have severe withdrawal....they have protracted withdrawal....in fact.....so bad that it can last for years...I know..I'm a survivor.....
