Hi all,

I posted here last night from an iPad, and I can't find it. I guess the transmission didn't complete.

I addressed all the issues being talked about here, and thanked those who stood up to Lou for "likening me" to a child murderer, when he changed my thread's header, using the word infanticide. A line was crossed there, causing me much pain.

I didn't think I was strong enough to be here with that happening, but I am. I have to be for my daughter's sake. Many of you have been very supportive and I need that, so I thank you once again.

I also hope to share my experiences and support where I'm able, and become a helpful and active participant here.

- Laura

l,
You wrote,[...Lou causing me...].
Please do not post what could constitute using me as a {scapegoat}. The words in my subject line have nothing to do with you as I have posted here. The words with scrambled letters and such are code words for my own purposes and not directed to you.
I am concerned with he dynamics of attributing blame to me here, even though Mr Hsiung is allowing it toward me here even though his rules state that members here would be protected from scapegoating and such, and I took him at his word. You see, scapegoating is a hostile social-psychological discrediting routine by which people move blame to someone. This has been revealed to me as a part of what I am trying to do here to stop hatred toward others being allowed by Mr Hsiung and his past deputies and deputy now, because it has been revealed to me that as long as hate is allowed to be posted here, then depression and addiction and death can abound.
You see, I know what causes children to be depressed and want to kill themselves. And you may know by now that I am prohibited to post here what could bring your child

Please don't tell me the psychiatric community is in the dark about tar dive dyskinesia. Or Dopamine Agonist Withdrawal Syndrome. The science points to it so well.

They fight it many times in court. For years. The drug companies know the ins and outs of their drugs as well or better than anyone. They knew all about the increased suicidal and homicidal tendencies even before Prozac was released in 1987. And much of the public plays dumb for the drug companies. Im not sure what the main public view on the rumors of increased suicidal thoughts caused by these meds was in 1993, but I'm thinking its the same view it has on Tardive Dysphoria today. With most calling it unbelievable. And discrediting those who say they suffer from it. I'm sure this hurts at least as much as someone being accused of infanticide.

poser,
You wrote,[...Lou...post what it is that you supposedly can't post...much of what you write has credibility...acting like (Mr Hsiung)is keeping you from posting certain information...].
The prohibitions to me here from Mr Hsiung are numerous. Each one creates a great gulf in front of me that I can not pass over. And what is on the other side is the new realm that one can go to and have a new life, free from addiction and depression. The prohibitions to me here keep me from posting what has been revealed to me that could save lives, prevent life-ruining conditions and addictions, and save the lives of children that had no choice but to take mind-altering drugs given them by a parent that went to a psychiatrist/doctor and led the parent to believe that drugging their child could make them better.
What I could write here would come from a Jewish perspective, which Mr Hsiung has prohibited me from posting that as revealed to me. And worse than that, anti-Semitism is allowed to stand here and my requests and notifications for years remain outstanding. Mr Hsiung says that it may be good to see my posts not responded to. And as long as hatred toward the Jews is allowed to stand here, and as long as my requests/notifications to Mr Hsiung remain outstanding, and as long as scapegoating is allowed to stand here, the mysteries that have been revealed to me, I can not share with you here. This is because Mr Hsiung says that he is doing what will be good for this community as a whole. Time will be the judge of that.

In my case, symptoms point to a dopaminergic cause - perhaps low dopamine receptor density.

I prefer drugs and dosing patterns that do not result in major acute withdrawal symptoms upon abrupt discontinuation, but if I do take one that does, I like to have a plan and adequate supply to gradually taper or some other way to combat withdrawal. And I personally avoid long-term or frequent use of any drug that is likely to result in post-acute withdrawal syndrome.

I thought when laurah said "the good fight", she meant the fight for Taylor.

IMO, to find that one's stronger than one thought is to win. And blocking Lou doesn't achieve that.

Perhaps you can address each and every individual who is addressed or referred to by Lou Pilder that they are fighting the good fight? Psycho-Babble might then pick up a few new customers as the old ones are lost to "attrition".

I'll write more on the Administration board if I end up having anything more to say.

Hi Scott,

I'm getting used to the dynamic here, and while there may be adverse side effects, I believe the benefits outweigh the risks. (sorry, couldn't help myself) :)

There are some wonderful people here, and I'm learning as I read about what everyone is going through. Along with everyone's help with my questions, for which I am extremely grateful, when I see a new psychiatric term, or medicine I've not already taken myself, I have been researching it as it pertains to myself or to my daughter.

I believe that in order to help my daughter, I need to have as much knowledge as I can obtain to effectively converse with both her pdoc and her therapist. I find that here!

Thanks again,
Laura

Hi all,

I feel that I should respond here. When I said "fight the good fight" it was meant to be an all encompassing phrase as it pertains to Taylor, as well as subjecting myself to the accusatory demeanor some may have concerning decisions I may make for her. I wasn't sure that I could handle that, as I stand before you already on shaky ground in dealing with my own depression and anxiety disorder. My feelings weren't hurt; I had a panic attack, and the shock factor, to me, was extreme. If any of you are fighting for your child's life and well being, you may understand that I'm going through hell, and feel like an exposed nerve. The stress is taking its toll on my health.

With that said, the initial "shock" is over and done with. I have come to understand that medicating children is controversial, and need to ignore any shots fired at me directly or indirectly, as a parent never gives up. However, I would rather receive that information in a helpful, constructive manner, as now I will not read from a certain poster. I will ignore such indignations, as previously stated by Scott, because of the people here who support me and have been so helpful.

I was looking around the board, and it struck me as strange how few members are actively posting. I then realized, as previously stated, why that may be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and they should be shared here, but when you're new here and blindsided with an accusitory / inflammatory post, you will probably end up looking for another venue.

I can't help but suggest that even before Lou has a chance to "attack" a new member, they be forewarned? I suppose that won't happen, but it probably would have staved off my panic attack. I am all for reading posts from people who are against psychiatry/medication when put forth in a well intentioned and useful manner, backed by their own experiences. We can then focus on the issues we're here to learn about/help with, and not spend so much time with all the drama. (I apologetically include myself)

Friends,
It is written here,[...if any of you are fighting for your child's life and well being...].
I am fighting here for all the children of the world to save their life and well being, for I am a parent to all children.
What I know about mind-altering drugs could astound you. And what I know about how these drugs can ruin a child's life could give you a whole new understanding about the choice one has if they are considering drugging their child in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor. This knowledge that I have is prohibited by Mr Hsiung for me to post here due to the numerous prohibitions to me by him. This could lead people to have a deficient understanding of the nature of the potential for psychiatric drugs to kill your child. Readers here do not have that information from me, they are uninformed of what I know about these drugs. And it's so easy to persuade the uninformed.
Parents, look at the hate that is allowed to be fostered here by Mr Hsiung by him allowing scapegoating of me for member's real or imagined ills. You could think that it is supportive for the administrator here to be in concert with the promotion of hate being allowed to stand. And even worse, in particular but not limited to, anti-Semitic hate is allowed to stand here. And look at all the people here that want me sanctioned while all the defamation toward me and hatred toward the Jews is permitted to abound. And those that want to shut my mouth will deprive others of the knowledge that I have that IMHHHHO could save their lives or the lives of their child, prevent addictions and life-ruining conditions. All of the excuses here to allow the hate is just a transparent attempt to engender sympathy where no sympathy is deserved.
And the members here are allowed to say that I post what is negative. And the members here are allowed to post that I abuse the rules. And it is allowed here to post anti_Judaism defamation. And it is allowed here for people to try to break me and slander me and there is encouragement by Mr Hsiung by him being in concert with some of them and allows the opposing of Judaism.
Where does this (expletive) come from? Do you know? Is state-sponsored hate something new?
Here is a video.

Hi Poser,

I don't believe that anyone thinks that hurt feelings are taken more seriously than your condition. I certainly don't.

I've read your posts and I'm sorry for all you're going through. I can't imagine your pain. You're here, which means you haven't given up, and I agree with Scott that you're stronger than you think you are.

Thank you for telling your story; I'm paying close attention, and I hope it means something to you that you have helped me by listing the meds you've been on along with your diagnoses. I know you don't believe that a psychiatrist can help you, so I won't interject, but I do believe that help is out there, and that you can find it if you persevere. I'll say it again, that I believe you are stronger than you think you are.

- Laura

Hi Laura you are an incredible person and Mother to Taylor. How lucky she is to have you for a Mom.

And I feel you are a very forgiving person. Seems many leave as a result of what happened to you here on your thread. Phillipa

So you mean it to apply to all who work with a physician to use medications to treat their children's mental health disorders, then? What do you mean by invoking the term "infanticide", albeit in your own Lounique spelling?

Hi Phillipa,

I can certainly forgive and move on. I extend the same forgiveness I wish to receive in return. Besides, I was just getting acclimated here. I feel that I can find the help I need here, as well as help others with my years of being a psychiatric patient myself.

I don't feel like such a great mom right now. I just took Taylor to her intake for new pdoc. She spoke with a therapist there so we could give all of Taylor's history. When it came to the question of "trauma", Taylor looked at me, and I knew it was time for me to leave so she could speak about her childhood, and whatever it is that she still holds onto today.

I wanted to mention it before, but I'm a recovering alcoholic, and I was not always there for Taylor the way she needed me. I didn't drink all that often, but when I did I was mean or stupid. I was self medicating nearly all my life. Taylor witnessed fights between myself and her father - things she shouldn't have seen. I want her to open up about this, but since this whole process began, she hasn't really opened up to me - only therapists to whom she felt comfortable with.

I find myself very depressed right now. For the past couple of days, I've woken up and have just not wanted to be here. My physical pain is ridiculous again lately - it's difficult to move past that. I don't know it it's situational, because to be frank, my life sucks. I may need to look at my meds again - does anyone know if Cymbalta has the "prozac effect" where it just stops working?? If I even care later, I should probably post a new thread about this.

Thanks - Laura

I shouldn't post when I haven't slept. My life doesn't suck; I'm just stressed out. Showed my bi-polarity there.... many apologies

I'm not sure if you're still wondering, but why couldn't Cymbalta have the same effect Prozac can have in that it could just stop working.
Many medicines can stop working, and this includes psychiatric meds. When causing an unnatural increase in neurotransmitters like serotonin r norepinephrine, over time the brain makes compensatory changes to regulate itself back to normal. It might decrease the amount of neurotransmitters it naturally synthesized before you started taking the medication, Decrease the amount of receptors that receive those neurotransmitters or god knows what.

Hi,

Yes, I'm still wondering. You said, "over time the brain makes compensatory changes to regulate itself back to normal" Do you know if this occurs with all antidepressants, or rather is this the general consensus? I think I need to get further information, and probably post a new thread concerning meds I'm taking.

Thanks for your input.

- Laura

It is my impression that the SSRIs are more prone to poop-out than are other types of antidepressants. Paroxetine (Paxil) might be the most problematic. I can't be sure, though. When paroxetine works, it can be magical. It is great for both depression and anxiety disorders. I do wonder, though, if it might not set one up for treatment-reisistence - a sort of cross-tolerance. I think most doctors go with Lexapro as a first choice. I like the idea of going with Pristiq as a second choice. I can afford to be wrong, though. I'm not a doctor.

:-)
