> I too have had the EXACT same experience as you three have with no longer being able tolerate any meds, and now having to go it without them. Sometimes I think it has happened for a reason, like someone wants me to take a different approach. Meds used to be like candy to me.. It must be either the liver or the brain chemistry.

When I first took Prozac ten years ago, it was like a sugar pill...no side effects at all. I quit a few years later, though when I realized constant muscle tension in my back was pulling my bones out of alignment and sending me into physical therapy (so, I guess there *were* long term effects even then). Now, I'm back trying Prozac and I can barely tolorate it. I feel poisoned and agitated and gross. You kow, they say that, statistically, the people that start switching meds have a lower recovery rate. I always just figured that that meant the drugs either worked the first time or they didn't work at all...but now that I think about it, I wonder if the impact that switching meds has on ther brain makes the psychiatric problem more intractable. < sigh** >MB
