Thank you. It has been very difficult but we will be ok. You have no idea how much the kind words from you and others here help.
I am sorry for all your losses. I know what you all are going through.
My daughter in law was on pain medication and effexor and took her life three years ago.
A young successful vibrant girl of 31. She would never hurt anyone and she hurt so many people.
I totally blame the drugs and the doctors.
Three months after she died, the FDA came out with the waning for children on anti-depressants.
I have seen now that they are warning labels on these drugs for adults also.
With effexor alone, Wyeth makes like 2 1/2 billion a year.
Money, money, money.
They cannot keep giving these drugs to people, when they know how dangerous they are. Something has to be done.
I have written to different Senators and have seen where some parents have come before the Senate to say that they believe it was these drugs that killed their children. Still these drugs are handed out like candy.
Have a friend who was having problems with hormone balance and they wanted to give her wellbutrin, well, that is an anti-depressant. Have read where they are giving more anti-depressants out to the elderly. This is so wrong.
My heart goes out to all who have been affected by a suicide as there are so many questions that remain unanswered, but these are mind altering drugs and not the true thinking ways of your loved ones.
It has changed my life so much, the heartbreak of losing this darling girl, and the pain I see in my son's eyes still.
There is a Survivors of Suicide site that does help some people. I know my son has posted there.
He has made a beautiful webpage dedicated to her and it is so hard to go to as she was always smiling and happy, until these drugs were taken.
I have read so many blogs of people who were not suicidal until they took these anti-depressants.
Thanks for listening to my rant.
And my heartfelt sorrow for all who have gone through and are going through this.
God Bless.
