Friends,
Look carefully at what I am responding to here. The poster writes,[...best of luck...hoping the Saphris works...].
Is *luck* and *hope of a drug working* what you want for your child if you are reading here to try to make a more informed decision as to drug yourself or your child in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor?. Do you know that the package literature to many of these drugs states that the drug could worsen depression and cause psychosis and be addictive and cause a list of life-ruining conditions and death by suicide or other systematic failures caused by serotonin syndrome and blood pressure failure along with blood diseases and heart failure and liver and pancreas disease and the inducement of movement disorders that could give one a lifetime of misery and suffering? What good could it do to hope for *luck* from these drugs?
Friends, the drug in question is a knock-off of another drug banned in the U.S. It is what is known as a dibenzo class of nerve agents. The chemist can manipulate the chemicals by various processes to get another drug just like the other drug but with a variation in formulation. This could be done all day in a laboratory by a chemist paid by the drug companies to get a "new" drug. They could say the drug is "different" from the other drug and it may well be in chemical structure, but its end may be the same: addiction, life-ruining conditions and death.
And how many *lucky* people do you see here attempting to be freed from depression have these drugs actually do that? And if so, at what cost? Does it take a mastermind to see what the people posting here are saying as to what the drugs do to them? And after taking them exactly as the psychiatrist tells them to, and they want to stop taking the drug, they could be addicted and think that they have to have another drug to offset the other drug and another drug to offset that drug and on and on and on until they get to where you see them now. Is that what you want for yourself or your child? Could not the drugs have caused what you see here? Thousands of people die each year from these drugs. Many are nerve-agents concocted from a batch of common chemicals derived from crude oil or coal tar. They seize the nerves and that cause a reaction that can be felt. But so could a blow to the head. But the agents can destroy the nerves and this could be un restorable and one could be in permanent disfigurement and brain damaged from these drugs. And is luck going to prevent that?
If you follow the people here that continue to try to find another drug to offset the other drug and on and on and on, you could see them saying something like, "Give us today our daily drug". Is not life more than drugs alone? When will it ever end? When they find their last drug? Or when they die from the drugs?
