in my eyes, this is a rather questionable definition of knowledge or credibility.

besides, Maxime has pointed out multiple times how ill she is, and that there is a possible risk of her doing harm to herself if she continues to feel as bad, or even worse, i.e. if she did not take these drugs.

Alternatively...

This moderator has only demonstrated, at best, a rote memory of old textbook and PDR entries. Of course, if it were important enough to this person, it wouldn't take long to look up a few facts to appear knowledgeable about an issue. There is no creative synthesis of ideas displayed. The moderator might be absolutely brilliant and well-informed, but I don't think this can be deduced from a listing of molecular structures. In my opinion, the other presumptions portrayed by the moderator are archaic and do not reflect the state of the art. They are especially impotent when treatment resistance is evident.

> Lou, there is a way to post and way not to post. Putting someone down because of the meds they take is the wrong way. It does not show that they care it just shows that they know fancy terms. She also accused me of ordering meds which I don't do. If she really cared, she would have been kinder. I guess that is we have the "please be civil" rule here on PB.

Maxime, I totally agree.

If she had expressed concern about the meds you were taking in a nice way, that is one thing. But to imply that you are the one who is at fault and a drug addict is simply mean and cruel.

I am sorry you had to deal with that.

it is worth noting that both heath ledger's and anna nicole smith's death have been caused by drug cocktails not limited to, but including, opioids, drugs which are notorious for involuntary overdoses due to their potent respiratory depression.

one cannot put all drug combos that are listed as "dangerous" (and even dangerous is a continuum) into a single box and label it something. it is always a case-by-case issue, and any categorical ruling out of stuff that's "forbidden" according to (some) literature is counter-productive. it's like with illegal drugs: don't do it, unless you know exactly what you are doing! only that here, the aim is not supplemental pleasure, but finding a working treatment for a serious, life-threatenings disease.

two things:
a)
"The painkillers Morphine and Demerol.
Chloropheniramine, an antihistamine.
The tranquilizers Placidyl and Vailum.
Finally, four drugs were found in "significant" quantities: Codeine, an opiate, Ethinamate, largely prescribed at the time as a "sleeping pill," Quaaludes, and a barbituate, or depressant, that has never been identified.

It has also been rumored that Diazepam, Amytal, Nembutal, Carbrital, Sinutab, Elavil, Avental, and Valmid were found in his system at death."

this does not in any way compare to the drug combinations that are being discussed here.

b) noone says that contraindicated drugs "cannot kill you". but they won't do so necessarily. you make a sweeping generalization here.

also, why don't you respond to posts personally, instead of posting links over links to explain your point of view? I'd appreciate a real discussion, I don't like to argue with websites and youtube videos.

Good for you! Maybe I should get on there and give her a piece of my mind. I can't stand people like her. It's too bad she was allowed to be a moderator there.

I posted their recently about a social issue and the reaction I got was amazing. It seems like that forums attract certain types of people and they like it very strict there.

They are too pro med and put too much faith in non controlled studies like Star*D.

Lol, I saw that post.
Some of the mods do come off as a bit grouchy I guess. And I too got the 'you sound like an abuser' thing with an adderall question years ago.
Maybe youd need to be active in a lot of forums to recognize the pattern and not fall into it. years ago I would have reacted exactly the same but now I just bite my tounge on some of these forums..
For us mentally interesting folks I think were a lot more susceptible to reacting badly and getting into an argument. It sucks when youre in pain and youre trying to cope with a trigger. =(

You know what forum drives me crazy, is ptsdforums.org. I make a post and I get a email about grammar and punctuation corrections that tells me im in violation of forum policy! o_O

Id just make another user account I guess. There are a lot of knowledgeable folks here but I get more of my technical info from crazymeds.

Please be sensitive to the feelings of others (including users of Crazy Meds, and including in the subject line)

But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're bad people, and I'm sorry if this hurts you.

More information about posting policies and tips on alternative ways to express yourself, including a link to a nice post by Dinah on I-statements, are in the FAQ:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforce

Follow-ups regarding these issues should be redirected to Psycho-Babble Administration. They, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.

Thanks,

Bob
