Are You or Were You Ever On Meds For Depression?
by minimus ini know so many people, not just witnesses that are on zoloft or similar drugs.
i know of some that, once they left the "truth", stopped taking these meds and have not had to go back on them.
i know of some that, if they did not have them, would not be able to properly function......what about you?

"you were to the point of suicide"
Did you have an "ah ha" moment of clarity? You know when finally your mind opens up and you realize you don't hate yourself anymore?
I had one of those after an argument with a friend....it was if I "Finally could see".....weird. -

What do people do in a discussion that ticks you off?
by Terry inwe all enjoy an interesting discussion.
but, sooner or later it seem inevitable that somebody comes along and throws a monekywrench into the mechanism and the huge engine sputters to a halt.. what do people do in a discussion that ticks you off and stops the flow of conversation and turns it from being productive to unproductive?.
is it as simple as disagreeing with you?.

Yes I also am a "brain doctor".
I guess being a Dub so long I was tired of being "brain dead".
I can't really comment too much on the drugs you listed since I do not specialize in Alzheimer's therepy. My main work is in spinal issues, injuries and degenerative nerve conditions. My associate is our Alzheimer's "go to guy". I'll ask him what he knows. The only thing I can recall with piracetam was for acute stroke and it's treatment.
However, I think Alzheimer's will be significantly improved within the next 20 years. So much of brain function has finally been discovered in the past 10 years, that meaningful therepies and clinical studies are being conducted now. The drug companies realize that as the "boomer generation" ages they will want medicinal therepies to combat this illness. This is one of the most dynamic, quickly morphing fields in science today. -

From my discussion w/ my parents it seems as though alot of Dubs are on the SSRI's.
I guess this is a far cry from only 17 or 18 years ago when I remember them counseling a sister with Bipolar Disorder that she probably had demons in the house and shouldn't seek psychiatric help since they would probably suggest re-enacting the womb experience. I mean WTF.... The Awake has consistently told people what to do medically yet it's NEVER friggin right. -

Well I guess the elders can go to bed smug at night knowing that now suicide guy has paid for all his sins, and the BOE's loving DF'ing showed him the way. He had nothing to live for outside of the borg.

I'm of the opinion that a four year degree in any field accomplishes a few things, but mainly gives the student an ability to think, argue, and form an opinion for himself/herself. That's what the WTBS is afraid of....people who think and ask questions!

more weird reasoning
by zaphod ina young brother was df'd for having sex with a young single mother with a young daughter who was studying with the congregation.. she got pregnant and they married.
she suffered with mental illness.. the brother sexually abused the young girl.
he was reproved but not disfellowshipped even though he did not go to the police voluntarily and at first denied the abuse.

Well I guess when you leave no healthy way of dealing with sexual frustration what do you expect. Since masterbation is horrible how much worse is child molestation.
Course, he could have done what any other sexually worldly frustrated man does... get a whore, have a one night stand, mess around with a friend. All of these are worse than child molestation eh?
I'm going to be sick now....someone needs to knock some sense into that person....ugh. -

Frankie I pulled up the info on this drug:
Side Effects
Common side effects of phenytoin include:
? Swollen, tender gums.
? Growth of facial and body hair.
? Enlarged or rough facial features.
? Acne.
? Skin rash.
High levels of phenytoin in the body may also cause:
? Drowsiness.
? Double vision.
? Dizziness.
? Tremors or shaking.
? Decreased coordination.
? Confusion and inability to concentrate.
? Osteoporosis.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Getting regular blood tests to monitor the level of medication in your blood can help keep your dose in the appropriate range.
? Adverse effects. Phenytoin has side effects that may affect your appearance (excess hair, acne, enlarged or rough facial features). Many people may be unwilling to deal with these side effects. While most people tolerate the drug fairly well, at high levels it can affect your thinking (cognitive impairment). Because it can cause osteoporosis, phenytoin often is not the best choice for older people. In rare cases, phenytoin can affect blood counts, the liver, or the kidneys.
? Risk of birth defects. Phenytoin has been shown to increase the risk of birth defects, especially heart defects, cleft lip and palate, and milder defects affecting the face, skull, and fingers and toes.
? Ease of use. Phenytoin requires several doses per day and comes in several forms.
? Cost. Phenytoin is less expensive than carbamazepine and controls the same types of seizures just as well.
? Other concerns. Phenytoin may reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills.
It may take time and careful, controlled adjustments by you and your doctor to find the combination, schedule, and dosing of medication to best manage your epilepsy. The goal is to prevent seizures while causing as few unwanted side effects as possible. Once the most effective medication program is determined, it is important that you follow it exactly as prescribed.
I've also noticed in my journal that it interferes with quite a few different common medicines including proton pump inhibitors (treats GERD, Reflux, etc.).
A woman should not take this med, if there is a chance she will bear children as birth defects are a common side effect. The medicine also interferes with birth control.
It also creates issues with osteoporosis and possible gynacomastia...enlarged male breast tissue.
Now it has some other uses including neuropathic pain reduction especially cancer type pain. It has a higher tolerance rate than anti-depressents for chronic pain. Anticonvulsants like dilantin control cancer pain by altering the way sodium and calcium travel across the surface of nerve cells in the brain. The nerve cells send fewer signals and the brain senses a decrease in pain.
SO WHAT AM I SAYING FRANKIE????
It's your body and your health so you are the best judge of the effects of it on your body and mind. But I would urge you to let your doctor know you are taking the meds so he can keep an eye out on any issues. He can't order you off the meds...just tell him the benefits you are seeing.
However, this is a drug....and not all people have the same reactions to drugs. I would not highly advise against anyone to start this drug without consulting their doctor. While I did not read all the reports on the link you provided...most of them were all done a number of decades ago and I am not sure how many would meet today's minimum acceptance guidelines for scientific journals. Not saying they are or are not accurate as I have not had time to fully vet them.
However, anytime someone has a new miracle cure that fixes anything and everything I am highly suspect to their motives.
