It is hard to wean off effexor, i took it years ago and had vertigo getting off of them. Take the capsule in half and take half for a week, then a quarter for a week and then a feww pellets. For me I had vertigo for a couple of days.
You can sue anyone for anything BUT I doubt you will win a law suit.
When you talk about holistic alternative, are you again trying to sell a durug treatment program in your "safe haven" retreat?
You are the director of this retreat and are trying to drum up business on this substance abuse forum. As already mentioned before.
By the time the law suit goes thru you will probably get a check for $25.00! We have to take responsibility for what we take, and have an understanding, at least a basic one, of the meds we are prescribed. As far as a health risk, as long as we use the same pharmacy they usually keep track well of meds that are compatible. As far as what the drug is for, WE need to know that, read the inserts that come with our meds. If you don't ask your doctor, you are doing yourself a disservice also.
I don't think the tobacco industry should be sued by people that smoked when they knew it was health risk.
I know I take full responsibility for the meds I put in my mouth. When it became stronger then my own willpower I knew I had an addiction problem. I could have continued to get prescriptions, it was ME that decided i would not refill my prescription and flushed 42 1/2 hydrocodones down my toilet ( I sang a sad little song, it was a sad day) I knew they were addictive, my body knew they were addictive. No one will save me, but me.
And no one is going to save you but you, and you know what? It takes every ounce of energy and spirit and perserverence and guy wrenching withdrawl symptoms sometimes to stop. I would not have the energy to fight with the stupid legal system. Save yourself.
good luck, Keeping myself clean makes me see things a bit clearer everyday. It's another perk to being clean.
PEACE
forget about the money and worry about your health.one thing is for sure,we are ginny pigs.the end steveo
Good luck in suing them. Doubt that it gets far seeing how they got lawyers out the yin/yang. But the thing is
Doctors should teach nutrition not pharmaceutical addiction
All drugs are toxic to the liver. Physician do no harm. That is an axiom from the beginning. The doctor feigns ignorance but have you ever seen any medication without side effects? There are alternatives. Dependency vs Liberation
Self Help vs. Control. True health comes from taking responsibility for your own health. Becoming your own doctor. Pharmaceutical drugs kill, try the holistic alternative.
