so my pharmacy was unable for bureaucratic reasons to fill up my antidepressants over the weekend and subsequently yesterday, I got a case of the reboundtastic happies. I felt like, I remember this: thinking clearly! america, the overmedicated so should I cold turkey it? |

please, ask your doctor...that is of course if he/she is not being pimped by drug manufacturers. |

not sure, but if he seems to be pushing drugs on you that might be a good indication. you could also ask them if they receive certain perks from drug companies, i'm not promising an honest answer but at least you can try. some doctors let drug companies court them by taking them out for lunch, dinner, golf outings, etc. the drug companies hope this will help the doctors write prescriptions for their drugs more often. sorry i can't give you a source on this, but i do remember reading it in a credible source...Mother Jones, i think. |

In most cases there's no harm done if you miss your medication for a day or two, just ask anyone to hide that axe ;) and find something to treat yourself to over the weekend like your favorite Aphex album |

However if you plan on stopping your medication this is a guideline on how to phase the drugs out as it is dangerous to go cold turkey and you could make yourself ill. To Become Drug Free: Reduction Programme - Gradual Stepdown If you are on several drugs decide which to stop first: Morning Noon Night Week 1 1/4 1/2 3/4 Week 2 1/4 1/2 3/4 Week 3 1/4 1/4 3/4 Week 4 1/4 1/4 1/2 Week 5 1/4 1/4 1/4 Week 6 0 1/4 1/4 Week 7 0 0 1/4 Week 8 Drug Free -------------- The table wont post the way I intended so Week 1 Morning is 1/4, Noon is 1/2 and Night is 3/4 and so on. This is just a guideline I got from a Patients Advocacy group. If you want to find out more about the harm these drugs do and how the pharmaceutical companys gain try The site author Peter Breggin has a couple of books out "Talkng back to Prozac" and "Your Drug Might Be Your Problem" Od_step_cloak - my advice is dont start |
