Gained 30 kilos. My body is destroyed in stretch marks. 2 years on I am still 5 kilos more than what I always was- 65 kilos. Thats six stone I gained in such a short time. I am now worried about diabetes. and there is no diabetes in my family. If I am diagnosed with it, I will be dealing with things in court. The world is so greedy it doesn't care what these drugs are doing to us and our children. Consultant psychiatrists do whatever they want with no-one to answer to. Its a disgrace. I know doctors that prescribe seroquel to anybody they can, just to get free holidays! now that cant be right no way. I was prescribed seroquel when I was fourteen by a g.p because I was havin trouble sleeping. He said, and I quote " you are probably bi-polar like the rest of your family" and started me on 60ml seroquel. I couldn't even open my eyes the next morning. I also felt suicidal, when I didnt before the drugs. Needless to say, I stopped taking them and was fine. No bi-polar, just a brief maternal illness that I was treated for with zyprexa and effexor......drugs of choice these days for doctors. Was on Zyprexa for 5 months. Gained 30 kilos.

She responds incredibly well to these drugs. If you've even gone through the agony of your sister going in and and out of mental hospitals, being homeless, and in jail - because when she's off these drugs, she's always paranoid that the cops are raping her or the invisible lady is telling her to go to hell - you would understand how invaluable these drugs are. It's tough to make a choice - do I want to have severe side effects and live a somewhat normal life, or do I want to struggle with hallucinations and end up homeless or worse yet, killing someone who I think is "out to get" me? Of course, for children, I think they're too young to be diagnosed. But when children grow up, and there were signs of it early on - like my sister- we should readily accept the value of these drugs. Yes, they may be "kid like" and you pass over it as a parent, but the difficult truth is that child was likely going to have more delusions once he/she gets to 18, and then they are out of the house and a very real danger not just to themselves but to others. My sister is now 32, and she was diagnosed at age 18. It took my family about 5-10 years to accept she rally had hallucinations, and it wasn't just something we could wish or pray away.

What will they call it? Acute happiness disorder? AHD? Extreme exhilaration disorder? EAD? All is total BS! This has to stop! This pharmaceutical racket of totally criminal drugs has to stop. This marketing of drugs do not cure anything but only cause the worst nightmares in the Life of families. Kids die from it, people become like zombies & the pharmaceutical industry rakes billions of tax payer money. Wow! What an industry! Turning individuals into victims. All these Drs should be sued for malpractice. If anyone really wants to know more about the effects of these drugs, I suggest to them to go on the CCHR.ORG web site & get your own opinion after learning what these drugs are really doing to you & your kids. Learn about it & decide for yourself. Hope this site will help you get a better understanding on psychiatry & their false pretenses. Man!!!
