> You sound like my "pain" specialists that are willing to shoot me full of steroids every 10 weeks, but tell me I will die from pain meds, I've been on pain meds since 2001. I am VERY RESPONSIBLE, and know how to take them safely. I Love my newly disabled husband that now has dementia and 2 strokes this year, and my 2 grown sons, with my first grandchild on the way.
> I SAID I IMMEDIATELY cut back the Elavil and the dark thoughts WENT AWAY. People have a right to be out of crippling pain. My pain meds do not get me high, there is no affect other than some relief. If I ever get this pain uncontrolled I might become suicidal, but even then I would suffer anything for my family.
> I WANT TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE TAKEN MED COMBINATIONS SIMILIAR TO MINE, THERE ARE SMART PEOPLE ON THIS SITE, I've been posting here off and on for years now. Thanks Lou for your concern, I'm happy you live a drug free life. My medical treatment was so mismanaged and I've been given so many meds, believe me I have turned down or detoxed from LOTS of them.

> p,
You wrote about that your feelings of unworthiness and helplessness went away after decreasing Elavil. What I was referring to is that you do recognize that the drug could have been the precipitator of the feelings of unworthiness and helplessness, which can be depression from the drug.
And that is a fact. Depression is listed in the package inserts of many of these psychotropic drugs. It is not just Elavil that I was referring to, for if you take another drug as advised by someone here, that drug could also cause depression. And the drugs that you are taking now can also cause depression.
In the broad sense, continuing to take psychotropic drugs could bring back the hopelessness and feelings of unworthiness.
