Good idea for a poll Laura.

K?

Whenever I've taken anti-depressants they've had no effect whatsoever even
on the most powerful doses. However I had a massive reaction to lithium,
which is a difficult drug to take at the best of times as blood has to be
monitored for toxicity levels. Even on the mildest starter dose, it made me
throw up non stop for 8 days - couldn't even hold drops of water down. Was
so weak I had to be carried - even turning over in bed required the most
massive effort. When my blood pressure disappeared off the scale (ie none!)
they carted me of to casualty with the blue lights to be rehydrated - my
blood wasn't even toxic when tested - an 'unheard of' reaction they said....

I have never been so physically ill - |I truly thought I was going to die.
Whether this was because of K I can't be sure but since mind body spirit are
'one' then it has to be a factor.

Ha!! For years I've been telling them anti-depressants don't work on me -
they never listen.

Relied on faith - illness as natural process etc. In my case depressions
come to their natural end. Of course the docs say, well at last so and so
drug kicked in .... I know different and I keep telling them but it's like
banging your head against a brick wall.

They're a bunch of tossers - gross blanket statement of the century but I've
seen a lot of docs and shrinks in my time and even the most kind, sensitive,
arty ones at the end of the day will not step outside the bio-medical
paradigm... Profs prepared to take the spiritual dimension seriously are in
a tiny minority - I've yet to be treated by one.

Until they're prepared to take the
opinions and experience of the patient seriously I will view them with the
contempt that they deserve.
